Distributor

[Kennyray]

I checked the timing on my truck today and it needs to be reset, however i can't get the hold down bolt loose. I don't have a distributor wrench or universal joint socket to get to it. Any ideas would be appreciated. It's a 95 Serria 5.0.

Do you have access to a torch to bend a wrench?

 

[Kennyray]

No, I don'even have a vise. Thought about using two pipe wrenches. But I'm letting my fingers warm up right now. To tight to work with gloves on.

Is an autoparts store close by? The wrench isn't that expensive and handy to have.

 

[Kennyray]

Have some close, but it's in between paydays and got to make what little money I have stretch.

Kenny what about a swivel socket. Wish you lived close. Make sure that you disconnect the wire by fire wall maybe that's why you think it's wrong it's connected.

Bent one of my cheap 9/16 wrenches and managed to get it loose. My timing was about 5 degrees retarded. Hope it makes my fuel milage improve.

Good deal. That bolt is a bear to get to without a special wrench.

Especially when all that emissions crap is in the way.
