Trouble indexing dist. ref. Haynes manual

[Stpndsmnn at aol.com]

I finally have my CGT running again but I am having troubles with the
ignition timing.  The more I read the section on indexing the dist. in the
Haynes manual the more vague it seems to become.  Basically my problem is
that I can't decide if the advance can is supposed to be on the bottom of the
dist when it intially goes into the head, or if the pip for the advance is
supposed to be pointing down.  The haynes really doesn't have any pics and
the words don't make much sense when you are doped up on Dayquil.

Thanks
