Hi huys I am new on this site and very new to owning a mustang. I bought a 68 conv w/289. I love this car but i am having some issues I was wondering if you guys could help...

First of all I cannot time the car as it has no external timing mark so i bought one from Yearone but i cannot for the life of me figure out how it goes on?

can anyone give me any ideas?

Also, it rough idles as well. I am not sure I have the Vacuum Advance hooked up to the correct port on my edelbrock carb. passenger side or drivers side port?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
