My manual says to see the underhood sticker for timing spec. If you don't have the sticker, it is most likely 10 degrees BTDC.
The manual says to hook the timing light up to cylinder #1 plug wire.
Then disconnect the 4 terminal connector at the distributor.
Start the engine and run at idle speed.
Then aim the timing light at the marks on the harmonic balancer/timing gear cover.
If necessary, loosen the distributor clamp and turn the distributor to adjust the timing. When it is set, tighten the clamp and recheck the timing marks.
Shut off the engine, then reconnect the 4 terminal connector.
Before doing this, I always use white chalk, touch-up paint, or crayon to mark the timing marks. It makes it a lot easier to see them with the timing light.
