I've check my timming, and it's on the last mark near the front of the car.

When i twist the distributor trought the front of the car, the pointer goes to the next mark(toward the inside of the car)

Does someone can say to me at what timing I am??? 0 or 20???

p.s. sory, first time with a timming light!!lol

There is some great timing information here:

I think what andrew wrote pretty much covers it. The last two marks on the right are 15 and 20 degrees. If you set it in between those two marks, you'll have about 17 degrees.

The last mark (towards the front of the car) is 20 degrees... If you twist the distributor towards the front of the car, you're retarding the timing, and towards the firewall, you're advancing the timing. If you have the stock pulley, there should be a big white mark that would be 15 degrees.

Where are the timing marks? And which plug is the #1 plug. Thanks.

The timing marks are located on top of the engine crank pulley. Just point your timing light at it and you'll see the marks.

#1 plug is closest to the the front (passenger side) of the engine.
