Hi.

Re: timing.

If van already running ok, take off dist.cap and turn
engine til rotor is lined up w/#1 mark on rim of dist.
The timing mark on pulley should be located somewere
near correct timing mark on stationary plastic timing
scale. If you can't see timing mark on pulley, feel
for a small mark on pulley (on outer edge of pulley
toward front of van). On mine it was a *small* notch.
Kinda hard to feel. Mark this and correct timing mark
on timing scale w/white paint dot.

Static timing is useful for testing to see if engine
runs after installing tuneup parts, but for sure you
have to set timing correctly with a timing light.

 Cheers,

Neil.
