Gary, cam location and is Very important when considering distributor alignment.

The R16 is located next to the fuse box, it is a small (1/2 inch) square box w/ 2481 (I think) written on it. It will also have electrical tape around the bottom where it plugs into the wiring harness. They don't make a resistor big enough to bring your timing back that far so that's not going to solve your problem.

When you are at TDC your rotor should be pointing right about 10:30-100 O'clock.
