how to time a 1989 2.3L tempo engine?
I would like to know where are the timing marks on a 2.3L tempo engine or how can I time it if I know where top dead center is ? Also what is the gap on the spark plugs?

Timing is checked by using a timing light that triggers in relation to spark firing. This flashing light in turn is then pointed toward timing marks on the exterior of the engine to determine relative timing condition. The timing is advanced or retarded by turning the distributor. This turning of the distributor effects the rate at which the spark plugs fire. The timing marks on gasoline Tempo/Topaz engines can be found on the harmonic balancer/crank pulley, located on the right side of the engine, as well as through a hole on the transmission case. Before attempting to adjust the engine timing, make sure these timing marks are clean and easy to read.) quote
