Hey Richard, I've got a timing light you can borrow, but they're only about $20 or so at Canadian Tire. I set the timing by myself, having never done it before, only reading the article in 101 Projects about it. I think the trick is to make sure you know your distributor's pointing to TDC for cylinder #1, rather than #4, and that can be tricky the first time. When I did my valve adjustment the pictures in 101 didn't look like my distributor, so I had to find another picture to make sure I was pointing it the right way. The pic that was the same as mine was the one in the online article about valve adjustments:
