If you have an ignition modual instead of a distibutor cap your timing is automaticly ajusted every time you start your car. With a distributor cap you will need a timing light ,on the crank pulley there is some nocthes,with numbers you must loosen the distributor shaft there's only one bolt loosen a couple of turns .start the engin be sure to have some one hold the distributor.Once the car is started point the timing light on the bottom pulley on the marks.You will have to either turn the distributor left or right on an older car never set the timing dead on set it about 10 degrees off because of worn parts.
