from what I know through just working on cars with my dad who used to stock car race a long time ago, and buying crappy cars and fixing them up, I know that you have to:
loosen the ditributer cap and turn it left or right depending on what kind of idle you are getting(lean or rich burn). You can check this by checking your spark plugs. If it is not a golden dark brown then it is not burning correctly. Dark plugs means it is running to rich and clean plugs means it is running to lean and there is blue smoke coming out of the tail pipe.
Note, I don't know which way to turn the distributor but don't turn it left or right more than an incrument to prevent missfiring and possibly burning a hole through the piston.
A chalk and some timing light would be useful and handy. The timing should be located on the door i think.
