Re: having trouble putting 4.3 in time

First step is to find TDC compression stroke.

There is 2 TDC's.
One compression stroke and one exhaust.
You can remove spark plug and feel compression stroke.
Also some have 2 timing marks.
I always use something soft like plastic straw and reach in plug hole and feel for piston to reach TDC.

Also make sure you have firing order right on cap

Re: having trouble putting 4.3 in time

yea, there is a good thread on this in the "how to" section. what exactly are/were you doing to make it "out of time". ie, did the truck move with the dist out?
