hey i bought an inductive timing light so i can advance my timing on my 7afe and i was wondering if someone could help me figure out how to use the timing light, i mean i can plug it up right and get it to shoot out the light but i dont understand what it even does. dont flame me i'm a noob with this stuff lol. and has anyone with this engine had trouble getting the distributor bolt off near the radiator hose? i cant get enough torque in that small space to loosen the bastard. any help would be appreciated!

is the engine hot, at idle speed, all accessories off, and in diagnostic mode? remember to jumper TE1 to E1 in the diagnostic connector. the engine will sound bogged down and idle low, and the timing mark will stop jumping around. also, it helps to clean the crank pulley up and even put a dot of white paint on the timing knotch.
