I did have the front cover off to check if the pulse wheel was on correctly but I'm not sure if I will be able to adjust the timing with the engine still in the car. Has anybody done it before? I know it says in my Haynes manual that the engine should be removed. 98.5 Black contour // A.K.A.

I am mostly following the Mitchell Ford CD but I also read over the haynes manual. I finished most of the work last night, I just need to take the valve covers and front cover off. It seems like there will be plenty of room to adjust the timing chain. 98.5 Black contour // A.K.A.
