"set the timing with a timing light."

The ignition timing is set statically too.
You only ever need two tools in life. If it moves and it shouldn't use Duct Tape. If it does not move and it should, use WD40.

The distributor position was set to the line on the distributor when the engine was at TDC..
The picture of the spark plug was how it was burning before I had changed the belts, I had just at that point changed the oil, distributor cap, rotor and plugs a few days before the picture was taken of the plug.
