Oh, I don't mean to discourage you from learning how to work on your own car. That can be a very educational and rewarding experience.
I have a timing light, vacuum gauge, dwell meter, spark plug gauge, feeler gauge, compression gauge and many years experience tuning all kinds of ICE that has a distributor and a carburetor.
However, when they took away the distributor and carburetor, I fell behind -
Now, when my machine ain't running right, I take it up to my local, trusted automotive shop and ask them to fix it -

Wanna hear about the time I changed out the clutch in my 1937 Chevrolet pickup truck, while it was parked outside in the barnyard, up hill, at night, during the winter, below freezing, with only a coal oil light to see by, with my grandfathers rusted tools from a tractor's tool box and it was snowing and the snow was blowing ....... both ways...... and did I mention it was uphill (both ways)?
