What I did with the timing was to find TDC on number one.( I also confirmed that by the crank/cam key positions
before I put the damper on.) Then I installed the damper which was pointing to 0 degrees on the timing cover pointer after installation.
Then I gently backed the engine up (rotated it counter clockwise by the crank snout) until the damper was reading 10 degrees before that 0 mark on the damper.
Thats where I stabbed the distributor with it pointing to the number one terminal with the rotor.
That should be 10 degrees
advance should it not?
I also just pulled a couple of plugs and they look normal, not light , gray, or white.
