if it acts like it is hard to start,is to high,turn counterclock wise,if it seames not to have the power it should turn other way,best thing to do is take it to a shop have them set the timeing,if you haveing problems it could need a new timeing set.

pull your #1 spark plug out and get your #1 piston all the way up and then pull your dist cap off but before u pull it mark on te distributer itself where the #1 plug wire goes go ahead and pull cap off where ever your roter button is pointing is where your #1 plug wire should be when u put your cap back on.
