    Default 12A Timing

    I know this sounds bad but I do not have a clue about setting the timing on my RX7. It has an oversized crank pulley presumably from MazdaSpeed (maybe has 6-8 1/4"? holes drilled in the face if that tells you anything) that has 4 hash marks milled on it.

    Anybody have the same setup? What do the marks represent? What should the timing be? Which plug wire to I use to fire the timing light?

    Tom, google Yaw power for everything you need to know about marking the pulleys correctly (any pulley) & setting the timing.

    It looks like a Racing Beat aluminum pulley. If it is then the marks should be as follows starting from the mark farthest away from the pointer: 10 deg ATDC, TDC (0 deg), 10 deg BTDC, and 20 deg BTDC.
