advance/retard ignition timing

[tonyboy]

hi,

my mechanic recently replaced my distributor o-ring and i'm not sure if it was adjusted properly since he didn't use any timing light to advance/retard ignition timing. do i need to have it checked and readjusted? drivability seems the same though.

TIA

He most likely marked how the distributor cap is aligned before he disassembled it.

hello,

i don't think he marked the distributor cap. i saw him putting it back then twisting it manually. hehehe...anyway, the best thing to do is to have it checked i guess.

I guess you should. Anyway, by marking, I meant to say that he might have done it visually (without actually making a physical mark). He may also just relied on how the engine is running and made realtime adjustments to it.

me drivability problems ba?

Alam niya kung saan sparkplug nakaturo ang rotor.
One spline off makes a big difference.
