I'm back..
got a cheap timing gun and cordless 9v tachnometer.
Sorry, Don't have the distributor wrench yet.
Not to sound stupid, but my battery was dead and I charged it all last night.. this afternoon when I stared up and warmed up for a while it idled better than it ever has with everything connected. Not sure why. I was even able to drive it with everything connected.
Anyways, the reading on my timing looks like this.. The very left tooth and the brown arrow almost align the the arrow is just to the left of the very left tooth. took a video but can't see the brown lines in it.
Also, in a video I saw it said to disconnect the time cable (brown and black) before adjusing the distributor.. I see no such cable.
