Initial Timing (Distributor Ignition)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1995 Ford RV Cutaway, 1995 Ford Pickup, 1995 Ford Econoline, 1995 Ford Cutaway, and 1995 Ford Club Wagon. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Set transmission in Park or Neutral. Turn A/C and heater off. Connect inductive timing light to engine. With engine off, unplug in-line SPOUT connector (Yellow/Light Green wire near distributor), or remove shorting bar from the double-wire SPOUT connector. Start and warm engine to normal operating temperature. DO NOT start engine with remote starter switch; use only ignition key.
  2. With engine at idle speed, check/adjust initial timing to 10 degrees BTDC. Turn engine off. Reconnect the single-wire in-line SPOUT connector or reinstall shorting bar on double-wire SPOUT connector. Start engine. Verify timing advances beyond initial setting. Remove test equipment and reconnect all components.
