Thanks guys. I put my standard timing light on and I dont have timing tape on the balancer. I did read that if you had to do it by ear you can advance the timing at distributor until the rpms stop climbing and then back it off a bit. I did this and my truck is running much better. I dont think i hear any pinging. You can also use a Vacuum Gauge for the same Purpose. Slowly advance Distributor to highest reading and then turn it back until Vacuum reading starts to drop. Lock it down and test for Pinging. This is how oldtime Mechanics would set Timing
