Default Bumpin timing

Anyone got a picture of the bolts I need to remove on the distributor so I can bump my timing, I can't find any...and I don't want to be jacking with the wrong thing

It's only 1 and it's right at the base of the distributor. Can't miss it.

make sure its not pinging and run higher octane if your going to be bumping timing and go to autozone and get a 39.99 inductive timing light worth while investment. and yes playing with timing can give you noticeable power just do it with a timing light..

Thats awesome.....I was abou to do this job and was told how to do it by some freak mechanic who did it about 1000 times so he was saying it all so fast and my poor little beer can brain could not ingest all of it.

Pictures, step 1 by one, my little nogin can now fell relived.

Seriously, Thanks for all the HOW TO......this makes life easier.
