sensor connector before stopping engine. Then restart
engine and run it at curb idle speed.
4. Check basic ignition timing and adjust if necessary.
Basic ignition timing: 7” + 2”BTDC 5. To adjust ignition timing, loosen distributor mounting nut
and turn distributor housing.
6. After adjustment, securely tighten mounting nut.
7. Reconnect pressure sensor connector disconnected in
Step 3. Then run engine at curb idle speed to make sure
that actual ignition timing is obtained.

CHECKING IGNITION SYSTEM NOBDIDB
CHECKING CENTRIFUGAL ADVANCE EQUIPMENT 1.
Set the tachometer and timing light.
2. Start the engine and allow it to idle.
3. Pull out vacuum hose from vacuum controller.
4. Check the advance while slowly raising RPM. If the advance is
smooth when accompanying the increasing RPM, this is
normal.
Symptom Assumed causes
Excessive advance
Weakness of the governor spring
Sudden advance rise
Broken spring
Insufficient advance or large
Impaired movement of the gover-
hysteresis
nor weight or cam.
5. If the malfunction indicators above are confirmed, dismantle
and check the distributor.
6. After checking, let the engine idle and then turn the ignition
switch to OFF.
7. Remove the tachometer and timing light.‘.

SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
9. INSTALLATION OF DISTRIBUTOR
(1) Align the notch on the crankshaft pulley with the timing
mark “T” on the timing indicator to set the engine so
that the No. 1 cylinder is at the compression top dead
center.
(2) Align mating mark on distributor housing with mating mark
on distributor driven gear.
(3) Install distributor to cylinder head while aligning mating
mark on distributor attaching flange with center of distrib-
utor installing stud and tighten nut.
l-4. INSTALLATION OF SPARK PLUG CABLE
Improper arrangement of spark plug cables will induce voltage
between the cables, causing miss firing and developing a
surge at acceleration in high-speed operation. Therefore, be
careful to arrange the spark plug cables properly by the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Install the spark plug cable clamps as shown in the illus-
tration.
2. The numerals on the support and clamp indicate the spark
plug cable No.
3. Pay attention to the following items when the spark plug
cables are installed.
(1) Install the cables securely to avoid possible contact
with metal parts.
(2) Install the cables neatly, ensuring they are not too
tight, loose, twisted or kinked.

METERS AND GAUGES - Combination Meter 8-135
.3
16WQ25
16W925
10W926
16F554
FUEL GAUGE
Measure the resistance value between t.he terminals by using
an ohmmeter.
Standard value :
l-2 terminals:
2-3 terminals:
l-3 terminals: 23-27 R
122-148 Sz
100-120 IR
Caution
If there is a malfunction of the ground contact of the
voltage regulator even once during vehicle operation,
the excessive current flowing through the heat coil of
the water temperature gauge and the fuel gauge will
cause permanent distortion of the bimetal, resulting in
the indications being consistently lower than the actual
value.
For this reason, therefore, be sure to make the earth
contact securely.
WATER TEMPERATURE GAUGE
Measure the resistance value between the terminals by using
an ohmmeter.
Standard value:
Bimetal type
l-2 terminals: 50-80 n
SERVICE POINTS OF INSTALLATION
2. INSTALLATION OF SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Insert the cable until its stopper properly fits to the
speedometer groove.
Caution
Poor installation of the cable may cause a fluctuating
meter pointer, or noise and a damaged harness inside
the instrument panel.

1. Pull out the rubber and backing blade from the stopper
side.
Back&g blade
2. Remove the backing blade from the rubber.
3. To attach a new rubber, assemble the rubber and backing
blade, insert from the direction opposite the stopper, and
secure by the stopper. Note that, because the backing
blade is curved, installation should be as shown in the
figure.
REAR WIPER
1. Pull out one side of the wiper blade rubber from the
stopper.
2. Pull out the wiper blade rubber, and then remove the blade
rubber.
3. Installation of the new blade rubber is the reverse
procedure of removal.

INSPECTION o A loose horn adjustment screw.
o Water, dirt, or other foreign matter lodged inside the horn.
l A loose horn bracket mounting bolt.
HORN ADJUSTMENT (1) Secure the horn bracket in a vice, and then connect a
battery of the 12 volts.
(2) Sound the horn, and adjust it by turning the adjusting
screw.
0 The sound volume is too low.
Turn the adjusting screw in the “UP” direction within a
range of about 180”, and then set it in position when a
satisfactory sound volume has been obtained.
0 The sound volume is too loud:
Turn the adjusting screw 20” to 30” in the “DOWN”
direction, and then set it in position when a satisfactory
sound volume has been obtained.
0 Horn will not sound:
Turn the adjusting screw slightly in the “UP” direction
until the horn sounds, find a satisfactory sound volume
by continuing to turn the screw within a range of 180”,
and then set the screw in place. If a satisfactory
volume cannot be obtained, replace the horn.
Caution
After the adjustment apply lacquer to prevent the
adjusting screw from becoming loose.
