genoinmd Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hi everyone, A friend of my daughters just got an 88 Justy 1.2, standard trans, with carburetor. I will be helping him change the timing belt. That looks pretty straightforward. My question is about setting ignition timing. I found a spec of 5 degrees BTDC. Vacuum advance hose disconnected? I saw some references (for a 92) to connecting the test connector under the dash, I'm guessing that is for fuel injected engine. Does this apply to the 88? Any tips/advice/suggestions? Thanks!

Gene On a vacuum advanced distributor just warm the rig up, make sure your idle speed is set, unplug and cap the vacuum hose and set timing.

genoinmd Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Hi firehawk, That's how I remember it....but the last time I used a timing light was probably in the mid 1980s....Hope I can find my timing light! Thanks Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
