Now you turn your distributor clockwise to advance the timing so that the 14 degree mark lines up with the pointer.

Here is a link that may help...

You only need to loosen the dist. hold down bolt enough to allow rotation.

Some motors can't take 14*
and other can
It can take some trial and error to find out what the motor is happy with.

All the timing pointer on 5.0's *should* be the same.

Still, it would be good to 'calibrate' the pointer by setting #1 at TDC.
That way you will know it is right.


Good Luck,

make you a deal, I don't have one either..... lol so if you grab one up for me i'll gladly pay you and the shipping to send it to me. I'm unsure but i'd guess the ho and non ho are the same. Yea you need to bring the number one piston to top dead center and when installed the pointer on the timing mark should line up with the 0 on the harmonic balancer.
