it would be a good one since most people (including me) had to do it more than once. haha.

I should follow the cam gear not a screwdriver in the sparkplug hole to tell TDC :(

when i check for tdc, i check by 2 different methods to ensure it is on the compression stoke and all the way at the top.

1st way is to take the cap off the dizzy and when the rotor is facing the cylinders plug wire that you are going to lash, that is when it is at top dead center of the compression stroke.

2nd is sticking a stiff wire into the cylinder via spark plug hole and waiting until it comes all the way to the top.

pretty straight forward. i think ill most definately post it up tomorrow after i get it done, it should be a pretty helpful diy with lots of pics and a very good step by step

well, yeah, then ill definately try to get it up tomorrow. you SHOULD adjust your lash about ever 12-15000 miles. if you hear ticking coming from your head, then they need adjusted. it can make a world of difference on how your car runs as well.

check back in tomorrow and ill try to have it up for everyone!, since i now know there is an interest for it!!!:TU:
