you must first have a timing light. you can buy them at any auto parts store. hook the cable to your first sparkplug wire on your block, #1, also one to the negative battery port, then look infront of your block where the biggest pulley is on your block, and behind it you will shine the light down there and see the timing mark, while the engine is running, and the chart on front of block. once u find it, you must loosen the distrubutor cap and rotate it in either direction to advance the timing or retard the timing. watch a video too for extra help :)
