Advance it to around 13-14 deg if you haven't touched it at all..
You should only need a timing gun (can pick one up for like $30 at any parts store, Sears) and a 1/2" wrench. Also, when I say 13-14 deg, that's initial (with the spout plug pulled out). Best bet would be to have someone show you.

Give me a call at the shop tomorrow and let me know when you would like to stop by. It'll only take a few minutes and I'll take care of it for you.

Will you show me how to set my base timing and perhaps retard it too?
I've never done it before, so it would be nice to have somebody show me how to do it the right way.
