top dead center so what's the problem??
trying to time my '87 22re, it will catch briefly and i can watch it fire at the "0" mark but then it shuts down as fast as it came up....any ideas?

I believe when I did mine I had to disconnect the timing advance vaccum hose to set the timing correctly. Also I think you set it at 6 or seven instead of zero at idle. Somebody else help me out I can't really remember.

new clue, after trying to start it i pull the distributor cap and the rotor is in a different position when the timing mark is at "0" than when i started. also I don't have vacuum advance so there is no vacuum hose to disconnect on this one (see carolinaredneck88 comment)

i got it.....the manual on utulsa for the 93 4runner told me 5 degrees early....that was half of it....p.s. the distributor hold down clamp is a pressure boundary for the oil system so don't try to time it w/out that bolt in....i'm not admitting how i figured that out this evening
