Another timing question

Redog · 02-26-2008, 11:35 AM

Will changing the cap, rotor, and coil (OEM coil, not one of those 50K volt jobs) change my timing or affect the car with the timing being off?

My timing is at 33* @ 750 with no advacne

Makes no difference, in more ways than one.

only if you turn the distributor in the process... thats what effects the timing

OK I didn't think so, but just double checking

Just make sure you check the timing after you put the parts on. It only takes a moment.
