I advanced the timing on the car today. I advanced it as California98Civic wrote about on an older post. It took me a while to find the tick mark and find a way of mounting the timing light so I could see it but I was able to figure it out.

I also was able to sort out the problems with the two stuck bolts with the one of the rotor caps bolts sheared off and the rotor screw was stripped. Both were removed and replaced.

I put the car under high load after making the adjustments and didn't get any detonation or misfires so I think the car is in a safe setup timing wise.

Idling the car for the timing adjustment burned .10 gal on the scangauge.
