With timing light on the crank pulley and the spark pickup on the number one wire, I checked where it was firing in relation to the timing mark. It was off so I rotated the distributor to bring it back in. It was off more than that so I pulled the distributor rotated it like one tooth in the direction I needed and then checked the timing. Using the timing light, I saw it was closer, so I rotated the distributor and got it to where I wanted. (Repeated this process a few times)
It was a bit confusing at the time, but it started to make sense. Without a timing light, it is going to be quite hard to determine when your engine is getting spark.
I think your other option is to align the timing marks on the timing chain and then reset the distributor. You would still need a timing light to bring it into spec.

well this is all i could find
Ka24e Timing Off? - Nissan 240SX Forums
i never took the timing chain off so the crankshaft and valvetrain should be dead on as it was before..but when i replaced the oilpump i did take off the spindle and dizzy without putting it back in the same specific order...
could you kinda explain how this gun works? i would have to go to autozone to get it later on tonight
