Electronic ignition issue

I agree w/ 273 that the slop doesn't look bad. However, a timing set is fairly inexpensive so maybe change. I got the 3-key type, which is mid-grade (~$35). I set mine at the 4 deg advance for better mileage and to compensate for eventual wear.

I'll add a couple of things:

Set #6 cyl to TDC. That is where the dots on the crank and cam sprockets should align and be closest together. Confused me at first on my 273 since I assumed it would be #1 at TDC like other engines I recall (2.4L).

I don't see an "oil slinger" washer over the crank sprocket. Maybe you took it off. If not, you can get replacements easy.

While in there, check your timing chain oiling. I think your year had the upper left bolt w/ a thru hole to drip oil onto the chain. Insure the hole is open or that they didn't mix up bolts. Even better, you can upgrade to the later "drip plate" where you leave out that bolt. I got one for ~$15 at a dealer.
