Connect a timing light to the car battery. Attach the clamps to the number 1 spark plug and shine the timing light on the pulley connected to the crankshaft. Note where the timing mark on the pulley is compared to the degree tab. Loosen the distributor lock-down bolt at the base of the housing and disconnect the hose. Rotate the distributor with your hand until the timing mark aligns at 12 degrees.
