Too late to call. \\; It is fairly simple to get it back in the right place. \\; Pull the plugs and rotate the engine until the front cylinder advance timing mark is visible in the timing inspection hole. \\; This is the straight line. \\; \\; Look at the top of your distributor. \\; If it is stock the distributor cam should have a line on it. \\; \\; Line it up with the rubbing block. \\; With the wire toward the rear of the engine lower the distributor down. \\; Look at the mark on the distributor cam and see how close it is the the fiber block on the points (the part that rides on the distributor cam) \\; If they don't line up lift it again and shift the cam in the right direction one tooth and lower it again. \\; Try to get them to line up. \\; Chances are it won't line up 100% but get it as close as you can. \\; Reinstall the stem clamp and tighten it down.
 \\;
Time the bike by setting the point gap at .020, \\; the line in the inspection window. \\; With your test light connected and the cam held in full advance and the base loosened, rotate the base until the light just flickers when the points break. \\; Tighten everything down. \\; You should be good to go. \\; You can check it with a strobe running at 2000 rpm but it will be right.
