Take the pass side valve cover off. When number six cylinder is on overlap, the exhaust valve is just closing, and the intake just opening, bring the timing mark on the balancer up to 0. Now point the rotor, on the distributor toward the number 1 terminal on the distributor cap. While cranking the motor over, move the dist., counter clockwise to advance, and clockwise to retard. Popping out the carb, is too far advanced, and popping out the exhaust, is too far retarded. KEEP the air cleaner on, as advanced, will come with flames.

Did Oldsmobile car have from factory Chevy motor like a 400 small block?
The only time I can remember Olds using a Chevy motor, was somewhere in the 80's, when Chevy made a diesel, out of the 350. Olds has always had their own motors, like it's other GM brothers Caddy, and Buick. Chevy motors, at one time or another, ended up in all of them, including pontiac, but, for the most part, each division, had their own designs.
