If you don't have a timing light, you can get close by pulling #1 plug and grounding it on the block. with the engine off and ignition on, make sure #1 is on the compression stroke and rotate the flywheel past the timing mark, trying to determine where the pulg fires relative to the timing mark and adjust by trial and error. Come to think of it, a timing light is a pretty cheap way to save time and effort...BB
