your distributor doest have any vacuum lines going to it so cut that part out. Get yourself a timing light and do it that way. If you just want to start over, bring the #1 cylinder to TDC, and make sure the rotor is pointing to the #1 plug wire.

Also, that plastic clip you notice that is in with the distributor wiring is the spout connector. It has a piece conected to it that makes it look like a plug that is not being used. To adjust your timing, you must take this small piece out, adjust your timing to where you want it, then put the piece back in. The computer will not adhere to your timing adjustment if you leave this piece in.
