Best Answer

The rotor is not adjustable on 99.9% of distributors.

The timing is adjusted by loosening the distributor body and turning it in relation to the rotor and other driven timing/ignition components.

How do you adjust the timing on a 1990 Isuzu 2.3 L?

At the base of the distributor there is a bolt. Loosen this a bit and you will be able to rotate the distributor both clockwise and counterclockwise. This will adjust your timing. Prior to doing this, make sure you have a timing light and the balancer marked with white chalk. Adjust accordingly. One last note. If your vehicle is running kind of crappy. I recently had an issue on my Trooper where the distributor rotor retaining screw backed out and totaly blew my timing till I fixed it. Check the condition of the cap and rotor when your doing this.

buy a new distributor cap and rotor. Unscrew the distributor cap (on the drivers side of the engine block), take note how the existing rotor is sitting, remove it, and place the new rotor in the same position. Put on the distributor cap and screw it into place... very simple job. thats how you change the rotor......he asked about the distributor....try again.
