If you have the "0" mark on the harmonic balancer and the corresponding
plate on the timing cover with "TDC" and various marks for other settings
like 2,4,6,8, etc before TDC, and you can rotate the dist (I believe the
rotation of the dist shaft should be cw so ccw would be advanced more), I
see no reason why you couldn't set it with a timing light, off #1 plug. I
don't know what your specific engine should be set at. For that you'd need
a shop manual or maybe some service shop will tell you.

I have had 1997 350 with electronic Ignition. Can anyone offer advise on
how to properly set the timing on this puppy?
