I have a timing light, but am struggling to see the notch under the gauge block. I see some forums say disconnect the vacuum advance and plug the hoses (just with your fingers I assume) and others say jump the T (a fuse somewhere I assume, is this just for 22RE engines?)
Also, disregard the hose problem - the hose I needed had tucked itself under the battery and hid from me.
The jumping thing is only for 22RE trucks. For a 22R all you need to do is plug the vacuum advance hoses
