Huh? About as complicated as timing your one-cylinder lawnmower. What's the
question? Pull the LH valve cover to see valve action. Rotate the engine to
ensure TDC on compression. Verify timing mark position on pulley. Two more
turns to stop at the mark before TDC. Pull Distributor cap. Rotate
distributor clockwise until points close and then counterclockwise until they
just click open. Done. You need a new mechanic.
