Disconnect any vacuum hoses from the distributor and plug them. Then you loosen the distributor hold down screws and turn it clockwise to advance the timing or counter clockwise to retard it. Tighten the hold downs, reconnect the vacuum lines and away you go.
Yes.
The point of gap on a Chevrolet 4.3 liter 6 cylinder is J7. This is also known as spark plugs.
Check for a broken timing belt.
on the balencer there is a timing mark and om the motor theres a tab there is also a mark on the cam gear, when lined up, both marks on the crank gear and cam gear point up.
No timing belt , the 2.4 liter 4 cylinder engine in a 2007 Hyundai Sonata has a timing CHAIN It actually has 2 timing chains One for the cams and one for a combination balance shaft box,oil pump, and sump screen. The box is the weak point of the engine and loves to disintegrate and is currently only available at the dealer for $1200.
According to www . motorcraft . com ( no spaces ) unless the engine compartment decal shows different The point gap is .027 inch The point dwell is 35 to 40 and The ignition timing is 6 degrees BTDC for 200 cubic inch ( 3.3 liter ) straight 6 cylinder engine
4.0 liter EFI ( over head valve / pushrod design ) has ( 1 ) timing CHAIN 4.0 liter SOHC ( single over head cam ) has ( 3 ) timing CHAINS 5.0 liter V8 ( over head valve / pushrod design ) has ( 1 ) timing CHAIN

In the first model year of the Ford Mustang : The 170 cubic inch inline 6 cylinder is : ( point gap is .024 to .026 inch ) ( ignition timing is 6 * BTDC for the manual transmission and 12 * for the automatic transmission ) Also , the point dwell is 35 to 38 at idle
you set timing by the marks on the cam shaft and the crank shaft. they should point at together to make it run right.
The camshaft pulley has a notch on the side of the teeth. You must line this notch up level with the top, front side of the cylinder head. (where the valve cover bolts on)
At least in the model year of 1971 the correct timing is set with the vacuum hose to the distrubutor disconected and the headlights on (not hi-beam) to 6 degrees... adjust dwell (point gap) before timing.
