What do you need to adjust? The timing? If it's the timing, it is best to do with a strobe light and adjusting the distributer using the timing marks on the crank shaft balancer - if you're not sure how to do it that way, get a manual from the library for help. If you don't have access to a strobe light, you can time it "by ear" this way: Loosen the hold-down bolt on the distributor just enough where you can turn the distributor by hand; start the engine and let it warm up; with the engine running, manually and slowly roate the distributor clockwise and/or counterclockwise until you get the best "purr" of the engine. Tighten the hold-down bolt. Be very careful not to get your shirt sleeve or arm caught while doing it. Good luck.
