LOL Bill, it's been a long time since I tried or succeeded in fixing something under the hood. Heck, I'm still trying to figure out how to change the headlight bulbs on my car
Heck no. Newer cars don't even have a distributor. A Hall effect sensor determines when a plug should fire, sends the info to a computer that determines what advance or retard is necessary, and then zaps a cylinders' own spark coil.Do they even use timing lights anymore?
