HOW Do I Adjust my Damn timing

[livelaughslide]

I've looked everywhere, i cant find a simple picture or diagram that shows how to put on a timing light, where are the timing marks AND WHAT SHOULD A 7MGTE be at? 10 degrees? 15?

for instance,

my 240, hold the gas at 1100 rpms and the mark should be at tdc or at 5 degrees advanced.


Why cant i find some way to just hook up my timing light and check it with no special tools or 30 mintutes jobs?

And I heard to adjust it you need some special resister wire and cross some prongs in the diagnosis box just to adjust it?

If this is true please, can someone tell me how to check it, and how to adjust it. thank you!
