* Specific engine: Even within the 1984 model year, there were variations in the V6 engine (e.g., different displacement options, and even variations within the same displacement). The exact specifications will be found on a sticker or plate on the engine itself.
* Engine condition: Worn components can affect the optimal timing.
* Fuel type: The recommended timing may vary slightly depending on the fuel used.
To find the correct timing for YOUR 1984 Camaro V6:
1. Locate your engine's specifications: Look for a sticker or plate on the engine block or valve cover. This will usually include the engine code.
2. Consult a repair manual: Use a repair manual specific to your year and engine code. This manual will provide the factory-recommended timing specifications. Chilton and Haynes manuals are widely available.
3. Use a timing light: A timing light is necessary to actually measure the timing. The manual will describe how to use the timing light correctly.
Without knowing the exact engine code and having access to a repair manual, it's impossible to provide a precise timing setting. Attempting to guess the timing could severely damage your engine. Always consult your owner's manual and/or a repair manual specific to your vehicle.
