How do you set timing on 1986 Toyota pickup?

To set the timing on a 1986 Toyota pickup, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the timing cover, and use a timing light to check the timing. Connect the timing light to the battery and the number one spark plug wire, then start the engine and point the light at the timing marks. Adjust the distributor until the timing mark aligns with the specified degree (usually found in the owner’s manual) to set the timing correctly.
