Get the engine near Top Dead Center (TDC) with the distributor rotor point at the #1 plug wire terminal.

Take the #1 pug wire of the spark plug, put a paper clip in it and get it to a good ground. Loosen the distributor and turn on the key. Holding the plug wire about a sixteenth of an inch away from the ground, rotate the distributor slowly til you hear the pop of the spark.The point where it pops is the correct timing. Do it until you get it right. Tighten down the distributor and hook up plug wire and start it up! Check with a timing light and then check that the advance mechanism is working and your done. Hope this helps.
