I have a stock 1990 HF. I just got it a few months ago and it is getting bad MPG for a HF.

So I did a full tune-up and found the timing way off.

Moving the dizzy as far as posible I am still about an inch from lining up the timing marks.
Yes I did short the little plug under the glove box.

So I have been told that my timing belt is off a tooth or 2.

Where can I find a step my step to fix this or excahnge timing belts.

PS: Anyone live in the Sun City, Ca area (riverside) and want to help?

Go buy a repair manual for $15 at a parts store for your car. It will have the timing belt replacement procedure along with how to set the timing with a light. It is really quite easy with the number 1 piston at TDC the cam should be at 12 o'clock.
