if I do the timing chain pointer to the 0 on the balancer (wherever that is.) does that mean I have to use the timing gun?

sorry.. this is all new to me HAHA learning as I go..

yeah, im pretty sure you will need to use a timing gun to get it back to the correct timing.

Don't forget the spout connector, It is the grey looping plug that is in the harness next to the connector that plug into the distributor. If you have an EFI car, that needs to be pulled before you check timing. Don't forget to put it back when you are done.
