1121.0. "Ford Laser 1.3GL - timing marks??" by ZPOV03::MICHAELLEE () Sat Jun 23 1990 12:42

    Hi
    
    I was trying to check the timing on my colleague's 1988 model Ford
    Laser 1.3GL but couldn't figure out where the timing marks/calibration
    marks are located. The previous model '82 which I am driving has its
    timing calibration marks clearly shown on the flywheel and adjusting
    timing is a breeze.
    
    Appr if anyone is knowledgeable about the location of the timing marks
    on this model of Ford Laser.
    
    Thanks in advance, Mike

1121.1	Provide more clue's	UKCSSE::RDAVIES	Live long and prosper	`Mon Jun 25 1990 16:29`	9
	Do any other words fit in between FORD and LASER? e.g. escort, sierra or is this a non-UK car?. Woops just checked, your node shows as singapore!. You might need to provide more info on this car for readers to recognise. Is it front wheel drive, is it a ford 'original'?, or a badge engineering (e.g. ford in auzzie sell mazda's I think) Richard
1121.2	1.3GL also gives it away...	IOSG::MARSHALL	Argle Bargle IV	`Mon Jun 25 1990 17:33`	1
	I think the Laser is a special edition escort.

	Hi: The Ford Laser which I was referring to is manufactured by Mazda but I really wouldn't know what the identical model would be in the UK. It is a front-wheel drive model. Thanks, Michael Lee writing from HongKong
1121.4	Can you answer me...?	SHAPES::STREATFIELDC	VW Beetle.. IOSG::AIR_COOLED	`Thu Jul 05 1990 16:52`	10
	MICHAEL, Can you answer a question which so far no-one in the UK knows about Hong Kong?, namely, what is the sticker you put on the boot of the car if you take it out of Hong Kong?, ie; in Britain it is "GB" ??????? Carl
1121.5	Yep, the Ford Laser is a Mazda 323	OZROCK::BATH	Getting very weary.	`Wed Jul 18 1990 10:31`	5
	If you're still looking for your timing marks, perhaps someone with a 1.3L Mazda 323 may be able to help, as the mechanics of the two cars are identical. (Only the badges, and a bit of sheet metal have been changed to protect the innocent).
