Re: timing (NScivic)
are you referring to ignition timing or cam timing? i would assume ignition timing, correct? if so you will need a timing light.

Re: timing (NScivic)
basically, you have to jump the service connector (under the glovebox on the right hand side, above the pass footwell) then if you have a cheap light, you line the red (middle red mark if there are 3) timing mark on the crank pulley up with the mark on the timing cover. with a good light, you can adjust the amount of advance in degrees, then line the white mark on the crank puylley with the one on the timing cover. that is it in a nutshell.

i should have thought of that, as these cars get older, the crank pulley get beat up. look for a single indention on the pulley, on the rib closest to the motor. that will be the "white" mark, then roughly an inch or two counter clockwise from that will be the timing marks.
you do not have a lower timing belt cover? umm... er.... you sure you wanna run that motor??
