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.

How do you disable the computer to set the timing on a 1997 dodge ram 5.9?

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.

How do i adjust timing on a 1999 gmc Denali 5.7 vortec?

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.
