reason for wanting to adjust it?
to answer your question, loosen your distributor bolts & give 'er a lil but of a turn. or if you have an adjustable cam gear you can work with that. i would suggest a timing light or something tho... mark origional settings incase u mess it up .. u'll be able to put it back easily.. hope that helps.
ps.. i'd have someone experienced help u if u don't know what u'r doing.

I believe if you read a little closer. he was asking about Timing in general. He never stated "ignition timing".

Bump, cause I need info on ignition timing. I need to set mine to 10 degrees BTDC, when I install my supercharger. I know I need a timing light, but how do you measure the degrees? I know there are marks on the crank pulley for timing adjustments. Is that what I'll be look at with the light?
