How do i set the timing if i didn't mark the distributor on a 1996 350 vortec?
The timing on that engine is controled by the computer. You can not use a timing light. The only thing you can do is move the distributor enough to get the engine to run and have power and that is called the base timing. When it does run and the engine light is not on then you got lucky, but if the check engine light comes on, then you will have to get an engine scanner and hook it up and go into the timing mode and move the distributor until you get the cam and crank in time. The scanner will show you when it is in time and the engine light will go off. Tighten distributor and your done. The computer will do the rest.

What timing mark do you use on a 98 vortec 5.7L?
You can't it is nonadjustable, The timing is controled by the computer. And there is no reason to adjust it unless you had the distributor out of the engine and in that case you will need to turn it by hand enough to get it running, and that is called the base timing. Then you will notice that the check engine light is on and you will need an OBD2 engine scanner hooked up to the truck and then go into the timing mode and ajust the timing to factory spec. and the scanner will let you know when you have the timing correct. The check engine light will go off when you have the timing right. Then the computer will do the rest.

Bring the number one cylinder on compression stroke up to TDC. Drop distributor in with the rotor pointing to the number one on the distributor cap. Install and tighten clamp with bolt. The clamp will only fit one way around the base of the distributor. This sets the initial base timing. The timing from there is adjusted by the ECM with information gathered from various sensors.

There is a bolt at the base of the distributor. Loosen the bolt and the distributor can be turned to adjust the timing. A timing light needs to be used at the harmonic balancer to make the adjustment properly.
