4. Apply vacuum of 5.91 inches Hg to vacuum switch and start engine.
5. Reduce vacuum gradually and check that timing light does not brighten and dim when vacuum reaches approximately 3.15 inches Hg. If it does, check individual components and replace as necessary.
6. Connect timing light to intake side of high tension cable and apply vacuum of 5.91 inches Hg to vacuum switch.
