Seems like whenever I turn one of my rear wheels, the other turns in the
opposite direction and the driveshaft stays put.  How did you turn both
wheels and keep an eye on the timing mark?

Inquiring minds and all that...

In one of my MG books (can't remember which) the author recommends
jacking up the rear wheels, removing the spark plugs, placing the car in
fourth gear and turning the rear wheels to position the valves to
adjust.  I tried it and it worked quite well for me.  I also recommend
disconnecting the battery.
