1/4 inch at the outer radius of the distributor cap is probably between 5 and 10 degrees. Hit or miss is not the right way to do it. The lazy incompetent pod people that couldn't find the timing hole should go back underground. It's right on the top of the clutch cover...rectangular opening with a scribe mark.
Set it to 16 btdc. Use white out on the scribe mark and on the 16 degree line on the flywheel to make it stand out for the light. Push the car forward in 5th gear to rotate the engine to get the scribe marks to the opening. use a flashlight to fine the 16 degree line, one mark past the labeled 15 degree line. Do it right...
