Hello,

I finally coughed up the money and bought a timing light. I am using
the directions in my Helm manual My timing is significantly off on my
car which has 130k miles. Looking downward, the 3 marks (made bright
silver with a ball-point pen) on the crank pulley are above the pointer
by at least twice the width of the 3 marks. Are there 2 deg. between
each mark? I am just hoping I didn't jump a tooth on my timing belt.
I tried loosening the distributor bolts so I could adjust the timing,
but I couldn't find a good fit with my sockets and wrenches. The bolts
seem like they are really tourqued on there. My 12mm tools seemed to fit
the best, but there was significant play when turning the tools back and
forth lightly against the bolts. Do I have bad tools or is there a
certain size wrench that I should look for?

Thanks for any help,

Mark
