do it by ear, revving the engine.
drive it a little, see if it pings, if it does, retard it a bit.
then just drive real lightly till you get a light and do timing properly.

10? I set my crank to 0, put my distro to tdc and thrw it in... do I need to set my crank to 10 then put the distro in at 0?
Connect the positive and negative wires and clip the sensor wire around number 1 wire. Jumper the diagnosic connector, I think it's E1 and T1, then point it at the crank pulley and pull the trigger. The light will light with the firing of the cylinder. Loosen the bolt (12mm) on the CPS and turn it CW or CCW until you get it set. Then tighten and your done. This is all in the Tech manual that you can access somewhere on here, GL.
Ill say again, I want the timing set to 10? not 0? would that be my problem? Ive been doing it at 0
