The initial timing is set and controlled by the vehicle's PCM (Powertrain Control Module). DO NOT try to set the timing by moving the distributor. The distributor is used to index and synch the fuel injection timing on 3.9/5.2/5.9 liter Magnum engines.
Initial timing is set by aligning the crank with the 0 mark and aligning the distributor rotor with the line on the pick up plate. The distributor is then synced with a scan tool. It is set to exactly 0 degrees to match the crank sensor. This can no be done with a timing light.Initial timing is set by aligning the crank with the 0 mark and aligning the distributor rotor with the line on the pick up plate.

The distributor is set to zero degrees with the aid of a scan tool. You can not sync it with a timing light.
The distributor is zeroed with a scan tool.
The distributor is set at 0 deg with a scan tool. The "base" timing is to line the rotor up with the line in the pick up plate in the distributor when at tdc.
ignition timing is electronic. follow the procedure in the repair manual for installing the distributor. Jeep does not have a base timing position.

1-3-4-2 and the distributor rotates clockwise.
most crank sensors are for engine timing with the cam shaft, the distributor on at least 97' dodge and newer controls fuel timing.
It doesn't work that way. You set initial distributor timing by lining up the crank at tdc and the rotor with the mark on the pickup plate. The next step requires a scan tool and can not be done with a timing light. Using the scan tool, the distributor is set to be in sync with the crank position sensor.It doesn't work that way.

The 5.7 Vortex engine lets the onboard computer time the engine. Initial timing is accomplished when the timing chain or the distributor is installed. Both the timing chain and the distributor have an index mark for the initial adjustment. The computer does the rest. To activate the computer adjustment one would have to disconnect the battery for a few minutes, I do it for approx. 10 minutes, however it can be done in less time.
It is not "timed", the distributor is zeroed or synced to the crank with a scan tool.It is not "timed", the distributor is zeroed or synced to the crank with a scan tool.
