The ignition timing is not adjustable, is that what you meant?

Base Timing. 10 degrees ± 2 degrees BTDC (Not Adjustable)

Let us know if you need anything else.

Yeah that's what I need but for the 1.6 16 valve DOHC. It's a 2002 Ford laser LXI.

Has got letters for intake and exhaust on both cam pulleys but not sure where they're meant to line up.

Okay, this one is a little different, you will need a couple special tools that line up the camshaft and crankshaft. Here are the instructions. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.
