You need to start with No1 cylinder near the radiator. Remove No1 plug and crank over the engine by hand until you feel compression, keep cranking slowly until your first timing mark on the damper pulley is aligned with the pointer.

Both valves should now be closed on No1 cylinder
and you should set them at .020" cold with a feeler gauge. Remove distributor cap and crank the engine over one full turn, your rotor should be at No3 plug wire and both vavles closed, then one more full turn to No4, then No2. After the engine is hot you can reset to .017".

You can do this another way with the engine near operating temp, you can adjust them to .017" with
the engine idling. Be sure to set the brakes or chock the wheels. Hal
