How to adjust timing on the beast (122) 120-130 1965

posted by  someone claiming to be Russell on  Wed Oct 16 15:40 CST 2002 [RELATED]

Hi guys, posting for the first time here. My wife is asking me to adjust timing on her beloved '65 122. I have no clue how its done on these cars. On my corolla I point the timing light to the crank pulley and move the distributor until the notch on the pully matches the 0 degree mark on the pully bracket. I don't see any such thing on this car.

Can someone please point me to a detailed procedure written up anywhere, the Haynes manual is too confusing. She also has an updated electronic iginition system so I don't know if the procedure differs ? Also, do I need any special tools for the job besides the timing light ?

Thanks
