    i always timed mine the same way i time my cb7... tho its been a long time since i done it on a 3gee i think your supposed to pull the vacuum line off it first when doing it but not sure I'm sure someone else will be able to answer that lol

    i wouldn't advanced it to far tho not good for the engine i reckon... i always just bump mine up a little bit past stock

    You pull the vacuum lines to adjust base timing (ie: no vac advance) and check if the vacuum advance is working properly. If you're in a hurry, just set it to 15 BTDC and call it a day.
