You will need a timing light for Hi energy ignition as well as standard socket set or wrenches. 1. get the engine up to operating temp. 2 shut off engine connect the timing light to the number one[1] spark plug wire at the spark plug end connect battery connectors. 3 start engine and note location of pointer on the mark tab on the timing cover. 4 shut off engine loosen the hold down clamp on the distributor turn the bolt no more than one full turn[snug is better than loose here] then note the position of the dist. cap. Move the dist. to make sure it moves freely replace back to the starting position and remove and plug the vaccum line to the dist. 5 start engine and set timing to the desired spec. 6 shut off engine tighten dist. clamp bolt 7 start engine check timing one more time to see if still there at desired setting. 8 shut off engine dis-connect all tools and light

I have a 1994 chevy silverado pick up after it warms up it pings . I have try higer octane gas and check the timming on it but it still does it can some one help me with this..

the pinging is called detonation which can do a lot of damage. What do you have the distributor timed at? It should be at 6 degrees ADVANCE. You will need to disconnect the wire under the dash to set the timing, it is a tan/black wire, disconnect the inline connector near the blower motor. If you don't unhook you wont get accurate timing.

If timing is slightly out you can get the pinging.

Hi Tim,
Please check that there is no leakage in your water cooling system. If there is leakage, it causes the engine to heat up and burnup the gasket. You need to make sure your thermostat is also reset properly depending on the weather condition in Maine.
