Timing a 1998 dodge truck

To time a 1998 Dodge truck, you typically need to connect a timing light to the number one spark plug wire and the battery. Start the engine and let it idle, then point the timing light at the harmonic balancer to check the timing marks. Adjust the distributor as needed to align the timing mark with the specified degree on the timing tab, usually around 10-12 degrees BTDC for many models. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for the exact specifications and procedures for your specific engine type.
