Re: timing off

When I replaced the distributor on my '97 Tahoe, I did find a mark on the harmonic balancer and a corresponding mark on the front cover. Make sure that the #1 cylinder is on the compression stroke and line these marks up. There should be a number stamped on the dist. (a 6 and an 8, if I remember, the dist. works on both V6 & V8). Line the rotor up on the number that applys to your engine. It is best to have the cam/crank sensor correlation checked. I haven't done this, but there is no code. Good luck!
