You have to have a good old fashioned timing light, make sure the engine is warm and idling at 800 rpm look down at the crank from the front and you will see numbers 0-10 the hash marks with numbers equal 2 degrees. Now there is a mark on the pulley, TURN off the engine and use some white out to help brighten the mark. Restart the engine and squeeze the trigger on your light shine it down the front of your engine. Loosen the bolt on the distributor 12mm and move distributor back and forth until the white mark on your pulley lines up with the hash mark that denotes 8 degrees. 8 degrees BTDC at 800 RPM
