Do yoyu REALLY want to set ignition timing ? do you have Timing Light/Gun ?
or just want to adjust for pick up/top speed ? turn it a bit towards radiator(is it ? forgot ler..heh) for pick up. try an error till you find a the best setting. Lets here from others.

There is many part to adjust.Got aircond,petrol and the distributor area.U can adjust by looking at ur rpm.Try to turn ur distributor until ur rpm 900.On ur air cond and adjust it to the same.About the petrol u need to have the device for it.

wow, got so many things can adjust one ya. I told can adjust the distributor only.
izzit you say adjust the distributor until rpm hit 900 (aircond off) then on the air cond and readjust the distributor again to make the rpm same as 900?

btw i think my air cond belt is to tight. everytime the air cond kick in sure got sound one. like suddenly got ppl kick the engine. can i readjust the air cond belt?

turn advance ur idling will be more, turn retard your idling will be low, if u turn advance u can adjust back your idling screw so it will be at the idling that u want.

advance will lose on top speed and and retard against it. but trial and error if u dont have a laser gun, give it some rollings and then spot fer urself d difference.

About the belt normaly the thighter the better becoz it will lose the sound like kik.kik.kik.Maybe the belt needs to be change or might be some other foulty.Normaly is best to take to a mech that uses the tuning mechine.Take it to EON and explain what u want or facing.Normal charges are around RM25-RM28.
