Timing Questions

Hey guys..

This request isnt for my car ..but my buddies T/A.

A 305 4BBL w/ 700r4

We cant this POS to stop running , she diesels for
a year and a half before she seizes .. LOL

I know its a timing problem ..

Im thinkin' the best way to solves this problem is to start
over again .. and completly retime it .. however,

I turn to you guys again for any short cuts .. usually timing
is just "trial and error," But I feel like doing it the right
way.

Thanks alot for your responses .. very simple topic
