Hi all<br /><br />Can somebody explain how to adjust the timing on this engine and what does dwell angle mean? The manual says to set the timing to 1 degree BTDC I think.<br /><br />Can a simple timing light do the job?<br />Thanks<br />donie

On my 2.3l Cobra you hook up a timing light and loosen the distributer and turn it, until the timing is correct. Might as well gap the points while you at it too.
