many thanks to NCroadracer for the wonderful graffics to go with the explaination

jus swapped out the motor in my '98 chevy 1500 and forgot to mark the dis b4 i pulled it

will try to use this technique to correct my mis timmed engine

im pretty close as it runs and drives its just off enough to have no power and bog down under load

herrbreit · 10-28-2009, 04:34 PM

i used the technique as directed however my dist shaft has no "8" notch but has a "6" notch what gives with this

i had it closer using a socket extension in the #1 sparkplug hole to find tdc and stabbing the dist with the rotor aligned to/as close to pointing at the #1 cyclender

help please

I'm still having trouble with my 96 GMC Z71 and this "dizzy" thing was and is VERY helpful just like you said Brad.

I'm getting ready to swap my coil with my brothers to see if this might be the answer to my problem.
