Remove coil wire,
Remove #1 spark plug,
hold finger over spark plug hole,
have someone jog the engine over until you feel compression from #1 hole,
turn engine by hand until timing mark on bottom pulley lines up with TDC on scale,
remove distributor cap,
rotor should be pointing to #1 in realation to the distributor cap #1.

How do you get the distributor and firing order correct after you pull the distributor and wires on a 1995 ford f-150 4.9?
the firing order is usually marked on the engine block. the marking for the distributor can lead to being out 180°. I did that on a Rambler - had fire coming out the carb. Just turned it 180° and it was fine.
Fire comes out of the carburetor when starting?
Timing is backwards turn distributor 180*
