How do you replace the distributor on a 1999 Chevy Tahoe after removing it from the engine?

Hopefully, you set number one piston at Top Dead Center (TDC) and made marks on the distributor in relation to its location on the engine, or at least remember the direction in which the rotor was pointing. If you didn't, then the first thing to do is set TDC and then stab the distributor. At TDC, the rotor points to the number one spark plug wire post, follow the firing order from there. While stabbing, you may have to rotate the distributor left or right a little to get the splines to mesh.

How do you reset distributor on a ford 50 motor after engine is cranked without distibutor installed?

You need to manually rotate the engine and set the number one cylinder at Top Dead Center (TDC) before re-insalling the distributor. Hopefully, you made a mark on the distributor that relates its position to the engine in orde to re-install it as it was. If you forgot to make a mark, try to remember in which direction the rotor was pointing before you removed the distributor (assuming the engine was at TDC) and re-install it as close as you can. At TDC, the rotor normally points toward the number one spark plug wire post. Follow the firing order sequence from there.
