Actually, I attached the timing light to the 3rd spark plug on the passenger side, because it was the wire that was in front on the distributor. I wasn't aware that attaching it to a different wire made a difference. I will try it on the forward most spark plug on the passenger side and see if the results are any different. But can you tell me what the marks on the balancer equal and what the original timing of my engine should be and what I should set it at?
At the moment I'm pretty much flying blind and setting the timing at what sounds good. thanks alot.
