    Do you have a timing light.

    Warm the engine, Loosen the Dizzy, disconnect and plug the the two vacuum lines coming off the Distributor connect the timing light and adjust the timing counter clockwise rotation Advances timing and clockwise rotation Retards timing.
    15 degrees btdc + or - 2 degrees.

    Thats a good rundown for adjusting the timing.
    If you do all that and its still off that means your timing belt is not alligned correctly. Good luck!

    Center mark is 15 degree

    The mark above and below are the 2 degree marks. I set mine to the mark below the 15 degree mark,
