Start the engine and let it idle until warm or drive a few miles to that purpose. 
Set the idling speed at around 800-900rpm. 
Set the dial to the required advance at idling with the vacuum line attached (see your workshop manual). Connect up to the battery and position the clamp on Nr.1 plug lead. 
Loosen the distributor clamp. 
Set the distributor to TDC on the marks. 
Tighten the clamp, not to tight. 
Recheck. 
It is that simple. 

WATCH OUT though for moving parts like the fan and water pump/dynamo pulleys/belts.

Hello , 
  
I have a 1966 bj8.......I have just replaced my original Lucas distributer with a new Pertronics distributer .........I turned the engine until the pointer was on the tdc mark on the pulley (on the compression stroke) and put the rotor pointing at the #1 spark plug in the dist. cap................NOW what do I do? I have a timing light with the degree dial on the back,...............what are the next steps to set the timing correctly?? do I plug the vacuum, what degrees,do I have to start the engine??? etc.................................sorry for all the questions
