All the instructions I have available say to "disconnect the vacuum" at the distributor. Well, my truck does not have a vacuum advance on the distributor.
If I shine the timing light on the crankshaft pulley while the engine is at idle, with everything connected and the engine warm, it looks like the notch on the pulley is lined up at 20 degrees BTDC.
When I give it gas, the timing mark dances up to about 30 degrees BTDC.
How do real mechanics adjust the timing on this engine?
