Its easy to mess up the installation of the distribuitor and get the timing off. If yours is a distributor& coil ignition, heres how to set the timing: Align the timing mark located on the flywheel with the mark on the housing so that #1 is at TDC. The timing mark is a line with "D-C" & "1-4" on either side. Its is very faint and may be hard to find if you flywheel is dirty. Use a flashlight. Remove the spark plugs and have a helper turn the engine with a crank. The indicator on the housing is at the very bottom. You can see all this through the hole on the bottom of the clutch housing. Once this is done, make sure the distributor's rotor is pointing toward #1 plug wire. If it's not, remove and reinstall it so that it is. Now retard the timing by rotating the distributor in the same direction that the cam rotates so that the points are closed, and with the hot/center wire of the coil near a ground, advance the timing by rotating the distributor back the other way slowly until the points just open and a spark occurs. (the distributor sparks when points open) Lock the distributor down there. This is the correct setting for your engine and the rest of the timing advance occurs in the distributor with the mechanical advance.
