Loosen the distributor hold-down bolt. Standing in front of the vehicle looking at the engine turning the distributor clockwise advances the timing.

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.

if the distributor is in the back of the engine it will be hard to see. so you might have to stand on the bumper and lean over the engine, it should be at the base of the distibutor where it meets the housing. if you feel with your fingers you will find it. sometimes it requires a special wrench to get at hard to reach angles and sometimes not . you'll be able to figure it out,just be carefull if you have the motor running.

How do you adjust timing with a distributor cap that has latches holding it stationary?
The timing for this type of distributor is set by rotating the entire distributor, not just the cap. The distributor should have a lock down bolt holding it down where it sets in a housing. With the engine NOT running, mark the original position of the distributor with a marker or some white paint. Then you loosten the hold down bolt a little, then see if you can turn the entire distribuor very slowly just a little bit. If it turns a little, then you can hook up your timing light paying attention to the cautions and warnings in the instructions for the timing light or the auto manual being used to set the timing. You start the engine, and slowly turn the entire distributor left or right until the desired timing is reached. Turn off the engine, then tighten the distributor back down. That's pretty much it in a nutshell!
