easy this one,take rocker cover off ,thent turn engine till timing mark of front pulley lines up,make sure the valves on no1 cylinder are closed and no4 are open .turn rotor arm on dist so it points to roughly no 1 lead an vac unit is clear of any thing it can touch ,fit distributor and place cap on so you can see which connector the rotor is pointing too the make that no1 ,and firing aoder is 1342.Fire up engine ,should start straight away ??then by moving distributor a little to either side till rpm goes up then back it off a bit and you should be about right for the timing ,if it pinks on acceleration a bit ****** it a little bit more .Make sure the vac advance unit works if fitted by sucking on the little pipe and then hold tongue on the end of the pipe and the vacumn should stay their .but this is a later model and i dont think it has a vacumn advance unit
