timing help

i have a b2200 2.2 im trying to get the timing right im following everything im lining up timing marks up...but the problem lies here when marks line up #1 is all the way down...ive tried everything im at a loss....any help or suggestions would help. 2.2 carb also i noticed that someone told me may have been fuel injected at one time and converted over to carb....

sounds like it needs to go through a couple rotations more. Took me forever when I was doing the head to get the white chain link, timing mark on cam sprocket, and mark on crank pulley, and distributor to all line up right. Felt like I spent half an hour with a socket spinning the crank around.

Make sure to take out your spark plugs so you don't have to fight the compression also.

Rotate the engine another full turn of the crankshaft pulley. The distributor rotor should be about at the 9 o'clock position as you look at it.

ive done several revolutions but piston doesnt match timing marks,,,

Pictures !!!

take the timing belt off top pully. line up a or 1 with the mark,(some have abc and some have 123 on cam pully.) check dizzy like cusser said, should be about nine oclock, now take # 1 plug out (plug closest to dizzy) and get a straw or somthing to stick in the cylinder that wont scratch it. turn crank till the # 1 piston is all the way up. then when u look at the mark on the crank, it should be lined up. hope this helps

On my 2.6 TDC had the timing mark and single white link of the chain sitting at 90* to the right from vertical, and the crank pulley lining up the mark with the degrees on the block, the distributor was 90* ish to the left--like I said took forever to get it to line up that way.

Somewhere on here there is a link to the 1992 factory manual, and it has a whole section on the 2.2l that might help you (it's in pdf, you'll need to download it) Here's the link--it's a dropbox file, pdf
