I decided to do my own tune-up again on my 83.5 as I had some time this
weekend. I haven't done it myself in several years. I would appreciate it if
someone could refresh my memory on the timing notches. I have 2 paint marks,
1 on the big pulley towards the front of the van and one on the smaller one
towards the rear of the van.  Which one of these do I use and where do I
line it up when using my cheesy FLAPS timing light?  Also, to get the idle
down to 850, I had to turn the big screw clockwise about 2 rotations , which
seems excessive. Comments?

Thanks,
Bryan
