3. Turn the ignition key to the "RUN" position.
4. Loosen the distributor clamp and rotate the distributor body counterclockwise until the light turns off.
5. Slowly turn the distributor body clockwise until the lamp just turns on.
6. Lock the distributor clamp in this position.

This what I do but I use a timing light instead of a test light. Then not only is the engine timed to start right up but also I know I have spark to run.
