Back in a time when ECU's and laptop programmable ignition systems were figments of the imagination and beyond the reach of mere mortals there existed a world of carburettors, points ignition and the seemingly black art of home tuning. Where instant horsepower gains came from the slightest rotation of the distributor and a couple of richer needles in the carburettor it was, alas a simpler time, albeit with less horsepower. For those of us that still dabble in this realm we see the value in ensuring that our vehicles timing is spot on to ensure smooth power delivery and maximum gains from our engine. Using a timing light is relatively straightforward and will quickly highlight a few basic signs of your engine timing.

A diagnosis will then allow you to determine whether your engine is firing too early before the piston is at the top of the cylinder or too late after the piston is on the downward stroke. Both of these actions rob your engine of power and performance. As is the case with varying engines and ignition timings it pays to be familiar with your vehicles optimum timing specifications and work to those as recommended by the manufacturer.
