I've got a '93 Mustang 2.3 that ate the timing belt. I know my cam/crank alignment is off because I tried to crank the car before I realized it was the belt.

My question is how to get the cam and intermittent(?) gears back aligned correctly since I have no distributor to look at the rotor to know if its pointed at the #1 cylinder? Finding TDC shouldnt be a problem, but am unsure as to the DIS getting it right. Can I just position cam to alignment marks or can I be off 180 like you can with a crank shaft?

Thanks for any help with the DIS system.

with DIS get the cam to the timing mark, and get the crank on TDC. You can also put your finger over the #1 cylinder with the plug removed to feel that you are for sure at TDC. The Aux shaft is just driving the oil pump on the DIS cars.
