POWERED TIMING LIGHT MODEL 161.2158 FOR 12 VOLT IGNITION SYSTEMS To achieve efficient and economical engine operation, the ignition system must be timed in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. Since ignition timing is also affected by the dwell angle, it is necessary to use a dwell meter to set the dwell angle to the manufacturer's specification before using the timing light to time the engine. The information in this manual will serve as a general guide for engine timing. CONSULT THE OWNER'S MANUAL OF THE VEHICLE BEING TESTED FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON DWELL ANGLE AND ENGINE TIMING.
