The timing is not adjustable on the engine. When you turn the distributor, you are changing the rotor and injector synchronization. You actually need a professional scan tool to monitor the offset spec to get it set to zero. Here arde the initial alignment marks when first installing at TDC compression. Mark #1 is for the 4.3
