Timing

[sgtarky]

I need the info on setting time at least autozone was some help cuz the haynes manual said NOTHING. 10degrees btdc disconnect and short termial T TE1 and E1........well I couldnt find a terminal t and I suspect that is the one i disconnect. anyway I used a jumper on te1 and e1 made no difference in timing.

10degrees btdc is where you need to be. I found when jumping the terminals, it has no effect. It does not seem to change anything. I set mine that way, and it runs like a champ.
Sorry I didn't write sooner I had a little holiday.
Good luck

1)buy a used one off e-bay
2)some Toyota dealerships may give you one or sell it for $10-20 (used) as most Toyota dealerships don't repair many old Toyotas and no longer need the service manual
3)some public libraries sell their old books as they are not in demand any longer
4)some free buy & sell classified papers,websites and bulletin boards may have some used ones for sale
5)some junk yards may have one laying around
6)some Toyota specialty garages may have one laying around and no longer use it as the vehicle may be too old and those mechanics probably have so much experience that they could publish their own factory service manual with corrections and "real world repair tips"
7)if someone has the FSM maybe they could scan all of the pages and post it on a site for all of us to download or view.
