trying to set base timing on a 97 Chevy c1500 with a 5.7 engine the wire to disconnect to set base timing is ?
how do you set the timing for a 1997 Chevy 350 5.7 engine
no
It has timing chain and gears. NO belt.
there was no 350 in the camaros in 83 just 305 and v6
Check it with a timing light and compare your results with the manufacturer's specifications.
If its a 350 vorteck there is no adjustment, Its controled by the computor.
It is not adjustable, its controlled by the computor.
Step one: Head down to Harbor Freight or Walmart and buy a timing light for $20...
10 to 12 degrees btdc
The timing is electronic controlled. You MUST have an OBDII engine scanner to set the timing to specs. Timing light will not work.
base timing without EST hooked up is 0 degrees BTDC New answer; The timing is not adjustable, It is controlled by the computer.
That requires an OBDII engine scanner because the timing is computer controlled. A timing light will not work on that year.
