thetiming is set at 10 degrees BTDC. there is a mark on the harmonic balancer and another on the timing cover that goes by acouple of degree at a time. it wil be marked 0 and probably 10 and so on. disconnect the vacuum line to the distributor, loosen the bolt on the clamp and turn the distributor to time it. Of coulrse you must use a timing light connected to #1 cylinder.
