    Just turn the distributor & look at it with a timing light. That is your best bet without an adjustable cam gear.

    cam gears rule! i love mine....it pulls hard in ever gear...1 gear is just flys...and the damn rev limiter kicks in 2nd, 3rd, 4th are nothing also as long as you have it in high rpms...well just get your self a timing light and move the dizzy

    distributor is held with 2 bolts and one nut.
    if you are going to advance it, advance it with timing light. without the light you won't know how much you have to advance.

    exhaust manifold won't add much power to your stock engine. may be a little torque, but it won't be much.
    with $50, get yourself K$N filter.
