Diesel Engine - Dynamic Timing

Bulletin 84-6-22

Date Mar. '84

Ref. No. 84-164-6
SUBJECT: DIESEL ENGINE DYNAMIC TIMING

MODELS AFFECTED: 1984 MODELS


When timing a diesel engine with the timing meter, you have been instructed to disconnect the two wire connector at the alternator so that it does not charge. Due to the relocation of this connector on 1984 models equipped with a diesel engine and air conditioning, it is difficult to remove. If you remove the gauge fuse when the engine is not running, the alternator will not charge. Either method is satisfactory.
