KDP, Timing Project

Howdy,

Since I am new to 2nd Gen's, you'll have to bear with me.

I am going to pull the front cover to tab the KDP and replace the front seal, front cover gasket, I am off of college all next week for spring break, so I will have plenty of time. I decided it would help alot to set the timing since it has 225,000 miles on it. I'll probably order the Snap-On timing set. Any advice would be appreciated.

Where can I get the delivery valve o-ring? Does it need to be replaced?
This truck will be mainly stock, with the exception of BHAF, exhaust, guages, and maybe a torque plate and some pump mods. How much should I advance the timing? I would like to advance it some, but do not want to take away any bottom end.

Steven
