RE: timing help
turn the crank by hand using a rachet make sure to get on the compression stroke
as you turn it put your finger over the spark plug hole to make sure it is on compression
when you feel the air coming out then you know and use a slender screw driver not a pencil you dont want it falling inside the cylinder

Take out the #1 spark plug. Have someone put their finger over the hole. Rotate the engine by hand w/ a breaker bar or the like and rotate it until there is pressure pushing out the #1 hole. You are now on the compression stroke just before top dead center. Continue rotating until the timing pointer on the crank reads 0.

RE: timing help
ok got pics of the new setting for it. the crank is at 0 so the number one sould be at TDC, i took the dist. out and rotated the inside piece back untill it could slide back down into the block. this is how it looks.
