Cas Timing?? Strange Dots on Mine

[MrFairlady]

Ok my cars running a tad rough and I was thinking it was timing related or Something of the Sort.

Looking at the FSM it Shows this:

Heres Mine - Mine seems to be Reversed of these dots somehow:

I've lined it up with the back orange dot but had to stab it a Diff way than the S14 FSM shows

Whats the deal??

Engine to TDC
Stab case as 'FSM' as possible
mechanically time with a light to get perfect

[MrFairlady]

Right...But you agree Mine are Reversed of what it shows?

the other part that has me questioning Shows it lining up with the 1st Dot thats (yellow)Orange.
My Dot in the back is orange...not the front.

In my Pic I lined it with the Colored dot but Not the front dot.

s13 and s14 cas aligning is different. Yours is right for s13. Look at pg44 on 180sx fsm its in japanese but you can look at the picture.

Mine was the same, as long as the yellow dot follows the solid line it is correct

Ahhhhh no wonder. I always used the English s14 fsm so that makes since. Car runs great now. Not lean anymore. I guess it was the ever slightest bit off.

Ahhh, I didn't even take notice of that at first :D

Yea, I like the S15 manual when it comes to non VCT engines, as it matches the redtops and early blacktops well in regard to that sort of little stuff.

Good to hear it's working well, ignition timing goes a lonnnnng way.
