Timing light: black wire to ground and clip the pick-up on the #1 spark plug wire (first cylinder on passenger side)
Vacuum gauge: use a full manifold vacuum, either a port on the intake manifold itself or tee into an existing vacuum line such as: transmission modulator line, power brake booster.
Set timing with vacuum advance disconnected and plugged. Set to around 10-14 degrees BTDC.
Reconnect vacuum line and adjust idle.
