adjusting ignition timing 88 190e 2.3 us
 

to whom it may concer,
i was just wondering if the ignition timing for the 190e 2.3 {us}88 model be adjusted manualy?

if so. how is it done step by step, to what number of degree, where could i find the timing mark at the cranckshaft pully.

the reason for asking is that i would just like to put the car in it's tip top condition.

thanks.:o

is not adjustable, it does have a base setting at 0 degrees top dead center
on the crank it os like this OlT, on the distributor there is a line / indicating tdc

Actually, it's probably adjustable with reference resistor. While you may not have the dial as it applies to euro vehicles in general, you might still have a connector with resistance plug on it. Different resistance values control the timing. This info applies to 6 cyl motors but I imagine it's the same for a 4. The second attachment shows the USA version.
