ok heres the deal guys im a luber goober at the local dealership and ive learned alot but this is beyond me. i know its simple i just dont know how to fine tune.

1. my freinds brock brought a 71 mustange to me about a year ago now with a seized main bearing since then ive rebuilt the engine completely. we bored it out put a stroker kit in. after i got it running kinda rough i drove it too a local mech. so he could re jet the carb an fine tune it. it ran fine for a bit butthen the only part we kept from the old engine (the intake) went. so i replaced the intake with a better one. now im back to the point of it runs and it will go down the road but at high rpm the timing is just a little bit off. it sputters and stuff. this would be feasy to fixbut when i first got the car it never had a timing pointer on the block and a timing light is the only way i know to time a car other than ear and that isnt fine enough. how do i get this dam thing into time. my buddy left for michigan to see family and freinds for the holidays and im watching over his place for him i think it would be a great present to have the car up running and looking good when he gets back ive already replaced the heater core and a bunch of other stuff this is the last thing left to do any help would be great thanks guys.

You must be close to time, or it would notrun. Loosen the dist. and adjust for best performance. It will be close to time.You can also find TDC and maybe mark the top of the main pully. Then use that mark to find the proper setting. Again it will be close.
