There is a timing mark on the flywheel...the Super C fires at dead center on #1. Ideally you would have a timing light that will allow you to see where #1 is firing relative to the pointer on the flywheel. To change the timing, loosen the distributor and turn it until the timing mark is centered on the pointer (using the timing light as your guide.

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
