INTRODUCTION

Precise ignition timing is essential to achieve maximum fuel economy and performance out of any spark ignited engine. Your timing light provides a simple method for timing the en- gines used in today’s vehicles. The advance timing light provides the additional capability of allowing the user to check timing advance curves of the vacuum, mechanical or com- puter controlled types.

Virtually all engines require that timing, both initial and advance calibrations be set, or checked at specific engine speeds, or in some cases with a specific vacuum applied to the vacuum advance diaphragm on the distribu- tor, or on the vehicle’s on-board computer. Your supplier offers a number of engine ana-

lyzers which are capable of measuring engine RPM, and vacuum pumps for application of vacuum when required. Contact him for further information on these instruments. In the case of engines which are equipped with breaker point ignition systems, it will be necessary to check and, if necessary, adjust point dwell before adjusting timing. Make certain that the instrument that you have or intend to purchase has dwell measurement capability.

Metal cased timing lights are for use on twelve
