I Need A Timing Expert

My 305TPI is pretty stock for now, just basic upgrades, nothin' special. but i want to get my engine timed in right. i have never done this before and i was wondering if any one knows how to do it right or what tools i'm gonna need. the process seems complicated but maybe its not as big of a deal as i think it is. there is nothing like a engine thats perfectly in-sync. so i really want to get this thing timed in. thanks

a timing light would be a good start. might also want a 9/16th's dist wrench to loosen the dist, personally I just use a standard 9/16ths wrench, never had any trouble getting to the bolt.
