hi - the 84 toyota tercel 4wd is one of my favorite cars ever.
recently I've decided to try adjusting the timing, but this distributor looks dif than say a 84 oldsmobile or ford. that is, it's square, with all of the leads on one side. how do I go about setting the timing forward? is there still one bolt to undo, then twist?
thanks,
uncertain but hopeful
adjust timing

hey, thanks!
a couple more quick ones. first, where would I find this available FSM? After some looking I have not located an electronic version. -- very useful webpage by the way. I could have used it 3 years ago when I had the entire cooling system spilled out on someone's front lawn in Fernie BC.
Next, whats the best way to disable the fuel pump? Its a mechanical pump, i understand... if I just block the outlet tube will I cause damage? or is there an earlier tube to block?
thx, happy driving w/ tercels. wish mine was still legal -
