Timing a 500 SEL
My 1985 500 SEL has about 273,000 miles on it. I need to set the timing, due to replacing the water pump and putting on a new catalytic converter. I have heard you cannot use a light on a car with this many miles.
Does everyone agree, or is it possible to use a light. If not, what is the best way to set the timing.
