engine and drivetrain Timing a '76 w/ dual action advance....

[PeterVarga]

I was told the procedure for timing is:

Advance vacuum hose remove temporarily and plug.

Engine off, verify 0 deg. TDC with piston on compression stroke.

Sync on plug #1 w/ timing light and look for mark at 2800 RPM.

Should be 25 deg. BTDC.

Retard hose remains connected during this proceduer.

Is this correct?

Thanks, Peter

What is this "timing light" that you speak of and how does this light relate to an 02?
