To set the timing on a 2.8 V6 in an '86 Jeep Comanche, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Locate the timing marks on the harmonic balancer and the timing cover; align the marks to the specified timing degree (usually around 10-14 degrees BTDC). Use a timing light connected to the number one spark plug wire to check the timing; if adjustments are needed, slightly loosen the distributor hold-down bolt and rotate the distributor until the timing light indicates the correct timing. Finally, retighten the distributor and recheck the timing to ensure it remains accurate.
