setting is no biggie , just bump the dizzy easily . changing the timing belt is a diff. story.

changin a timing belt is not such an easy task. It requires patience, finess and a little knowledge. Id grab a book on how to do this and read up on it before you jump into it. Things like top dead center and making sure the timing marks are aligned properly are things you should know well before a job like this. Once you do know its not so bad. Be gentle with the timing covers too. they crack easily.

Ignition timing? Valve timing? Quater mile timing?

How about you read a book, see what is involved in doing whatever task you're curious about, and determine if it's beyond your own abilities or not. Because someone else's opinion of whether or not it is "hard" may not be accurate when your own abilities are concerned.

Like said read how to change the timing belt and look up for some videos from the internet. When you feel you are up to it, then just remember that you reserve well enough time to do it and prepare for that it doesn't go as smooth as on the vids or in the books. Check that you've got all the tools and parts you need. Don't skip any phase that you encounter cause there aren't any shortcuts. Keep for ex. haynes manual or similar on the hand while changing it so you can follow it step by step. After all it's not a big deal to change it, but if you haven't done it then it's kind of scary thing to do. You might end ruining your motor if you do it wrong. And if you read the books then there should be mentioned that it's good to change your water pump while doing the timing. Let us know how it goes.

Good luck for the job!

if it is ignition timing then make sure you jump the service check connector by the pass kick panel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmasxgJdXJ8 I found this in the DIY section.But, like Deevergote said,if you feel its beyond your abilities,give yourself time to study.Try going to a junkyard and fooling around on an engine sometime.Its a great way to learn before making fatal mistakes on your labor of love!

Nothing is 'hard to do' if you do research, ask questions, and be patient.

There's a DIY section in this forum that has some info in it.

I have a video that I purchased from EricTheCarGuy for 9.99 and it's an hour long and very informative..
