The timing is set by timing marks on the crankshaft pulley. Using a timing light the light will sync with the engine and show if the marks line up properly. To adjust the timing the distributor is turned slightly. There is a clam and bolt under the distributor, loosen these just a bit to be able to move the distributor.

How do you set the timing gears on a 1978 Thunderbird?
Timing gears are set by removing the front timing cover and bringing the engine up to top dead center on the compression stroke of #1 cylinder. There are marks on the camshaft gear and the crankshaft gear which need to be lined up. This is a timing chain and gear set up. If you are asking to just adjust your timing, you need to hook up a timing light to #1 spark plug wire and have a mark on the harmonic balancer. To adjust timing, simply loosen the distributor and turn it slightly until proper timing is achieved.

At the base of the distributor there is a bolt. Loosen this a bit and you will be able to rotate the distributor both clockwise and counterclockwise. This will adjust your timing. Prior to doing this, make sure you have a timing light and the balancer marked with white chalk. Adjust accordingly. One last note. If your vehicle is running kind of crappy. I recently had an issue on my Trooper where the distributor rotor retaining screw backed out and totaly blew my timing till I fixed it. Check the condition of the cap and rotor when your doing this.

The full procedure is a bit lengthy to write out so I've attached some links below to show you how.

You need a timing light. Hook timing light to #1 plug wire; loosen hold down bolt on the distributor and start car. While looking at timing light pointed to balancer timing marks adjust the distributor to get the timing you want. This assumes you are close to desired timing. If you are way off you will need to line up the rotor with #1 at tdc. HTH
How do you adjust the timing on a 1981 Jeep CJ5 from the distributor cap?
- Do not adjust timing on anything from the distributor cap. You can adjust timing by moving the distributor. - You need a timing light and timing needs to be at top dead center to start. Then make a visible mark on base of distributor and engine block so you know where distributor was when you started. That's in case you need to start over. - Loosen the bolt that holds the distributor. Only loosen it enough to move the distributor. - Now hook up the timing light, being careful not to get hit by fan, or caught in the fan belt. Aim the timing light at timing marks on the front of motor. You may need a second person to move the distributor for you. This gets moved very slowly, a tiny amount at a time. - Using white out, color the correct timing line on front of engine so it will light up when using timing light. - Start the engine while watching the light on the timing marks. You can tell the other person how much and which way to move the distributor. Move only until the marks are lined up . - When it is correct it will look like the light is on all the time. When the distributor is in the correct position tighten the bolt that holds the distributor. - After doing this, if the engine is backfiring, and you have previously had the distributor removed from the engine, it is most likely because the distributor is installed 180 degrees wrong. - To correct the backfiring remove the distributor bolt, rotate the engine top dead center on the number one piston. If the rotor at this time is not pointing at the number one plug lead then carefully lift the distributor from the engine enough to rotate the rotor 180 degrees. Then re-insert the distributor and try timing from start again.
How do you adjust timing on a Chevy 350 engine 5.7 liter?
Connect a timing light, loosen the bolt on the distributor and turn it. If you have a model that is contolled by the EMM, you can only adjust the clearance of the cam and crank positions sensors. The rest is controlled by the computer and is determined by the software. Note that adjusting the sensors only improves the input to the EMM and does not control the timing.
