Check the manual on that one. You may need to use a jumper to allow the timing to be changed. Check to see if there is a wire right below or connected to the distributor that has a cap on it. Open it up and you might see a 2 connector plug. That might be the place to put the jumper, but don't just go ahead and do it until you read the service manual on that one and figure out where the right procedure and the right setting. does the tachometer jump around before it shuts off? if so i fixed this by replacing the distributor.

What degree to time distributor on 84 ford 302?
A repair manual should say at what degree to time it. If you don't have a manual and you want to set it "by ear" do this: Slightly loosen the hold-down bolt on the distributor just enough so you can be able to rotate the distributor. Start the motor and let it warm up to normal operating temperature. Manually slowly rotate the distributor clockwise and/or counter clockwise until you get the best "purr" of the engine. Tighten the hold-down bolt.
