It is best to find someone with a scanner to set the timing "right" for you. No longer do you use a timing light to time them. You can get it somewhat close by trial and error but it will most likely set the check engine light. If you knew before hand you could have marked the dist housing before moving it to assure getting it back on spot. Got a bud with a scanner or a trusted mechanic? Start with getting that right then work from there.
