Distributor installation?

Post by VinceG2 »

I have a stock 1975 Corolla, complete with the emissions stuff still installed. On this 2T-C engine, the timing is set for 10 BTC. I was wondering, when putting the distributor back in, should the engine be set at 0 BTC, or 10 BTC? My neighbor thinks whoever worked on this car eons ago, has it put in a tooth or so over.

Engine is 100% stock.

Installed it on 0 BTC then turn counterclockwise to set on 10 BTC with the timing light

The one teeth off won't harm the timing since you can compensate this back bay turning the distributor
