Red face 390 timing specs

Does anybody have the timing specs for a 390 in plain english that a girl can understand? Trying to put mine back together and I'm to the point where I'd like to set my timing but I don't know what 6 degrees means and the old man's out of town for another two weeks. I'd like to have it done before he gets back. Please help!!

will be off work for the next three days and will not have access. please send answers in text to 9043648494 if possible. (no. I'm not retarded, it's a pre-paid drop phone!)

Welcome to FTE.

Sorry don't think this can be handled with a text message.

Do you have a timing light? Are you familiar with it's use? Setting the timing is a simple project that even a beginner can accomplish.

When you reply to this I'll be glad to help you farther along.
