super easy.

1. line crank pulley up the yellow mark (if you turn it clockwise, its the first of the 2 marks)

2. the cas has a little plug in its cover, take it off (you may have to remove the whole cover)

3. there is a wheel? with 2 big teeth on it one of the 2 needs to line up with the hole in the cas cover

4. you should now be within about 5 degrees of correct

5. 86-88 there is a green 2 pin connector by the the battery, short it with a jumper wire or paper clip

89-91 there is a green 1 pin connector by the battery, it needs to be gounded

6. put timing light on either of the 2 leading plug wires

7. start engine and set the cas so that the pointer is on the yellow mark*

8. remove jumper wire!

9. engage beer



*if its a turbo running higher boost making the timing a tad retarded might be good, and an n/a making the timing advanced might be good too.
