You don't. The 2001 Lincoln Continental does not have a timing belt it has a chain. The cam is driven by a chain that requires no maintenance.
Chain.
i suggest changing the distributor. i had erratic timing for a while, during cruising speed the emgine would chug here and there. One day I decided to replace the distributor cured my erratic timing, and stopped the chugging.
Initial Timing settings according to the shop manual is 6* BTDC.
The 4.6 litre V8 engine in a 1996 Lincoln Continental has ( 2 ) timing CHAINS * 1 timing CHAIN to each cylinder head
Purchase a shop repair manual for that car if you are DIY. You will need it.
the ignition timing is 6 degree BTDC.

I'm not a mechanic / technician but as far as I can tell the 4.6 L Dual Over Head Cam V8 engine in a 1996 Lincoln Continental has ( 1 primary chain and 1 short chain inside each engine cylinder head which is called the secondary chain , so there are a total of 3 timing CHAINS )
