[16v] Timing marks. Where and how?

[joshhignight@techography.net (joshhignight@techography.net)]

   Okay, let me make sure I've got these straight...

Cam - line in cam sprocket. rotated CCW is retarding, CW is=
 advancing.

Crank - line in crank pulley. Also small "o" on flywheel. 

Dist. - line on dist. housing (under cap). Also, "V" groove on=
 flywheel=3D 6* advanced. Rotating Dist. CW advances, CCW retards.=
 

When rotating, I am looking straight on at the component. So CW=
 for the cam sprocket is CCW for the Dist. when rotated in the=
 same direction. 

Now, when I turn my cam timing advanced by 1 tooth (~8* right?),=
 where will my dist. in relation to where it was prior to=
 changing the cam timing? 

Also, what recommendations might you folks have on timing for my=
 16v. It's the 2008cc, forged pistons, balanced, high compression=
 (like 11:1 or maybe more), stock head/fuel/ignition/cams, and=
 0-100 ft. elevation. I'm playing around with it trying to avoid=
 pinging but still get that really nice performance it shoudl=
 have. Torque is NICE when cam and crank are at 0 and dist. is at=
 4-6, but it pings occasionally and there's hardly anything up=
 top. Intercam timing hasn't been messed with since the factory=
 AFAIK. Also I am having to run rather rich to keep it from=
 pinging, and my idle way to erratic because of that. 

Thanks again for help.  I know I've been a pest with my timing=
 issues lately, but I KNOW this engine should be making more=
 power than this. My 1.8 felt better up top than this does...
