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!

its possible a pit of rust or something is what you're seeing and not the notch. clean the edge of the pulley well and then see if you can find the knotch when the engine is off. a little spec of white paint can make it ALOT easier to see.
