You don't jump any terminals. I'm assuming your talking about using the DLC. Hook a timing light to the number one spark plug wire and loosen the clamp bolt on the distributor a little. Timing should be a 36-38 degrees BTD.
wich engine do you have?
on the front of the engine behind water pump (water pump is bolted to it )
Timing Mark for desiel
Timing is probably off.
A regular timing gun has 3 wires, 2 for the power and the pickup lead. Connect red clamp to positive terminal of the battery, the black to neagative, and the pickup to no. 1 spark plug wire, then you're set to go..
Only the V6 has a belt.

A 1979 Chevrolet pickup does not have a timing belt, it has a timing chain. The chain will last the life of the engine and is normally replaced during an engine overhaul.
