timing

So having a little drama with the timing and would like some ideas. Issue is as follows - If I set up the timing as described in all the manuals and on this site (at 7' ) the car runs but has a bit of a knock/miss feel too it when pushed at all. If I bring it back closer to TDC it runs...

Hi all, I'm wracking my brain trying to figure out what the cause is : Automatic transmission. At the correct timing, its completely gutless. At slightly advanced timing, power is ok. There is no engine knocking at the advanced timing setting. RPM at correct timing hover around 650-700 in R...

After mucho searching I have to post up for some help from the experts..does anyone have a pic / diagram of an assembled t belt idler pulley? The below pics describe the questions I have regarding the part..and yes, I took stuff apart and 6 months later tried to put it back together:hillbilly...

Ive removed all the bolts from timing cover (85 60 w/2f). I have disconnected oil cooler hose brackets. Last I whacked the tc a few times with rubber mallet. Tc won't budge. Don't want to damage cover or score surfaces. What am I doing wrong? Any advice appreciated!Timing cover 1 by FJ60BigLou...

I know the pointer in the middle of the window is 7*, but does anyone know what the top and bottom of the window ends up being? FSM only mentions the 7* on the pointer. Reason I ask is that I just finished up my AFI TBI install and they recommend the base timing be set to 0*. I have the mark...

Hi everyone, I picked up a 99 UZJ100 that had 275k miles with rear locker October 2016. At the time of purchase the major issue was a starter and an ignition coil; everything else seemed "ok". During some routine checks after purchase I looked at the timing belt and it was brown, cracked and...

I've searched like crazy and not found anything useful. The timing mark on the crank pulley... The engine manual (RM132E) only talks about one mark on the pulley. There are three on mine. Two about 1cm apart, and another maybe 5cm away. Which of these is TDC? Thanks for the help all. I'm...

Hey guys. I posted this question up in my build thread, but figured Id post here so it might get some views from people who know a thing or two about turbos but arent following my build. Sooo... How significantly do I need to retard the timing once Ive added a turbo? With all the extra heat...

As the timing chain gets old, I assume it stretched, right? IF so, then the timing will change as it stretches, right? Will it advance or retard? Is it enough that you have to compensate for the slop in the chain when adjusting the timing? I just checked the timing and it was set at 3 (some...

I installed the pertronix electronic ignitor II with the flamethrower II coil and I got everything installed. I turned the key and it fired up without too much hesitation. I got my timing light out and went to time it but I can't find the BB that Im supposed to have on my fly wheel. All I can...

Hi! Need your advice badly on this as I´m thousends of miles away from any car mechanic I know and trust. Hope that some of you had similar problem and managed to fix it. For the last 1800 miles I´ve observed a strange behavior of the engine noises. When the motor is cold everything sounds...

This is my 85 60. Love the truck. Kinda new to under the hood. Did a vacuum gauge test and indicates leak and/or ignition timing issue. Took to mechanic for exhaust weld. He liked the truck he asked if there was anything else he could do. Told him of vac test and he said he look into it...

Guys, I've searched around and can't find it... is there a definitive thread for us newbies who are interested in adjusting the timing of their cruiser? I need pictures, videos, Vanna White... Thanks in advance!!!
