I set the timing staticly by using the timing mark on the fan(it's red on mine) not the zero. alighned it with the notch in the fan housing and then turned the dist to alighn the rotor with the mark on the top of the dist. case.
Will this get me close? |

Yeah. Gets you really close.
Next comes the easy part. Start the car, work the gas with one foot, while you reach around and loosen the distributer so that you can freely turn it. Let the gas drop to idle and twist the distributer until it sounds really good. In my opinion, this is better than a timing light, sinces it sets it right to your engine and not right to the engineer's specs- which don't account for data variations from one unit to the next.
