Somwhere under the Hood is an Emission Sticker with the timing for your Car.
Rotate your Engine in the direction of rotation and you come up on the Compression Stroke, go past OT (TDC, Top Dead Center) and line the Crankshaft Damper up on the Timing Degrees on your Emission Sticker.
We will pretend that that is 15 Degree ATDC (After Top Dead Center).
There is a Plug on the Governor Housing you are going to remove (Oil will come out). Look in side the hole and see if you can see a Screwdriver Blade type projection centered in the Hole. See Pics
If it is way off center your Timing is off.
