April 12, 201015 yr If I did everything correctly, then it means my timing was around 25 degrees before I touched it. Several months ago, I did the 5 speed swap. Since I used an EA82 flywheel, I put a mark on the EA82 flywheel where the EA81 flywheel had the 0 mark. I also verified this, by putting piston 1 at TDC, and seeing the mark I made at the arrow on the engine. Took the vacuum line off the distributor, and plugged it. I then checked the timing, which read around 25(I have an adjustable light). I then proceeded to have the mark at the arrow, when the light was set to 8-10. Did I do all the correct? Was my timing really set at 25 before? That seems like a lot of timing advance.
