I know its a pretty simple deal to turn the distributor, but in all honesty do it with a timing light to get the best most accurate results.

Oh I see. It's all coming clear now. But yes to be acurate a timing lite would be wise.

And don't forget to unplug the tan wire BEFORE you start the car and set timing at idle with timing light. Turn off the car, plug tan wire back together, restart car, check timing. It won't be what your initial timing setting was but that's a good thing.
