hi bill, still problems was 180 out corrected that and drove round the block this was timed on cylinder 1. cylinder 6 just wont time. still lumpy

cylinder 6 is at the back of the engine number 1 at the front no one else as ever heard of timing on number 6????

did you time number 6 yourself or did someone else do it?

No one touches the Supra except myself, I've set the timing dozens of times using # 6 as stated in document below. (# 6 is at the back) if you have a variable setting on your strobe light set it at zero. It sounds if you may have a doggie HT lead. Does the timing advance when you remove the terminal link in the diagnosis box.

Also make sure the arrow on the pick up clip that connects to # 6 HT lead, is pointing towards the spark plug.
