Borrow or buy a timing light. You can buy one for about 20 bucks, but if you know someone with one, it isnt a tool a shade tree mechanic will use alot. Use the instructions on it and go from there. Good luck!!

I have a 1988 Toyota tercel do they make a body kit for my car?

Was the distributor changed recently?..if so my guess is that it's off by one tooth. I would check it and re-install the distributor. Then reset the timing with your timing light.

Settle a bet..did '87 mustang LX have t-tops? Need info asap!?

Put it back to TDC #1 and make sure the rotor in the distributor cap #1 plug wire are lined up.

How much would it cost me if I wanted to put a bodykit and paint the kit to match the color of my '05 tiburon?

Doublecheck your firing order if you had the plug wires off.

Looking to buy a 2006 scion xb?

You can simply buy/borrow a timing light, if that is not available there are other ways around that. First, disconnect the coil wire, take #1 spark plug out, crank engine until piston is at the top of your spark plug hole, and then check your timing pulley. It should be at TDC or a few degrees off. Then loosen the bolt that holds the distributor on, turn distributor to fine tune. If it is not at TDC or a few degrees off then the distributor teeth are off. (-also check fire order of the spark plugs.)
