Checking RB Timing

[zcarmark]

How do you hook up a timming light to rb26. Also how do you adjust the tps:wc:

It kind of depends on your timing light, if you have an old school light you will end up having to use a spring (it may have a technical name) that will go on top of the spark plug for Cyl1 and then go into the coil, then you clip your lead around that spring. More modern timing lights can pick up the signal from single pin connector by the firewall (it will have a black cap on it) or just being looped around the wires going to #1 coil. You then adjust the CAS to set the timing... I forget if you need to ground anything out like you need to on some other cars to do the timing correctly... but its all detailed in the FSM.

If you're using an inductive timing light, there's a black wire loop sticking out of the harness at the rear of the engine where the coil harness comes off the ignitor. The inductive pickup clamps around this wire, just like a plug cord.
