Hi there, Get engine up to temp, unplug cooling fan if electrical, attach timing light to No 1 spark plug set timing by loosing clamp bolt at base of distributor & rotating as required to 7Deg BTDC.

Lock distributor clamp, when set. Check idle before timing adjustment 850 RPM and again after any adjustment. Mark (mhpautos)
