Default Recurve Timing?

Hey all, I was on this site before but forgot all my log in credentials. So here I am again under a new name. I've been reading about recurving the timing with a timing light and a vacumm gauge. Could somebody please give me the dummy explanation on how to go about this!! I've got a 79' with an L-82. I'm going to go pick up a light and gauge today and want to do this mod just need to know how HAHA. Thanks for the advice..
