INSTALLING THE
TRIGGER WHEEL
1. Position the No. 1 cylinder
under compression at the desired
total timing. Install the trigger
wheel centering ring onto the
harmonic balancer of the engine.
2. Position the trigger wheel onto
the harmonic balancer and
centering ring so one of the four
magnets lines up with the center
of the non-magnetic pickup. Make
sure the wheel is mounted so it
rotates in the direction of the arrow
on the wheel. If necessary, slide
the pickup in its mount until it
properly lines up with the trigger
wheel magnet.
3. Check and make sure the wheel is positioned correctly with the pickup and
torque the trigger wheel bolts to 25 - 30 lb-ft.
4. The pickup should be centered to the edge of the crank trigger wheel (Figure 2).
If not, it may be necessary to add or delete shims to the pickup bracket to achieve
the proper position.
