Yes ANSWER No - a 1998 3.0 L Ford Ranger does not have a distributor which would allow you to adjust the ignition timing - it has a coil pack and the ignition timing is controlled by the PCM ( powertrain control module )
If you mean ignition timing it will be 10 degrees BTC.

Yes , the 3.0 liter V6 in a Ford Ranger has a timing CHAIN
That requires an OBDII engine scanner to do that. The ignition timing is controlled by the computor. If you have not moved are removed the distributor then there's no reason to fool with the timing.
The Ignition and Fuel are triggered from the crankshaft. The distributor is only a cam angle sensor and spark distributor.i.e. NO TIMING ADJUSTMENT possible.m
