To do it properly you will need a timing light. Attach it to the number one cylinder spark plug wire and start the engine. Hold the light so you can see the harmonic balancer and check where the timing mark is when the light shines on it. If you need to adjust it you will have to loosen the distributor hold down bolt about 3/4 of a turn. Rotate the distributor very gently until the mark lines up with about six degrees advanced and your 305 should run fine. remember to tighten the distributor bolt back down.
