Did you attach it to the #1 cylinder? Did you disconnect your spout connector? If you did those things it should be easy. Point the timing light at the harmonic balancer, and you should see the numbers line up with the timing pointer.....just read the numbers to tell where it's at.

Courtest of Tim (Stang22), Here is a write up on how to set timing. If bored, check out his build up story - very nice.

Oh yeah, hit 'Links' and then the timing article.
