one easy way to make sure that the distributor is on right is to take the cap off and set the motor to TDC on cyl. 1. the rotor should be at the 1 o'clock position...cyl 1 firing.

the timing is about 10* at idle. when i set the timing i made 3 marks. one for 8*, one for stock 10*, and one for about 15* for when i go to the track
