System Check

On all models, ensure all vacuum hoses are in good condition and properly connected. Place transmission in Neutral or Park. With engine cold, connect timing light. Start engine and note timing. If timing is not to specification, loosen distributor clamp bolt and turn distributor until specified ignition timing is obtained. Retighten distributor clamp bolt.
