It's easy. All you need is a timing light. Attach inductive clip to no 1 plug wire, attach batt leads to battery, aim at balancer & pull the trigger. It will flash & Line on balancer in relation to pointer on timing cover will tell you where timing is. To change, just turn distributor & retighten the 1 bolt on manifold. You will probably have between 8-12 degrees initial. Some advance is normal. Do at idle speed so vac/mechanical does not kick in.
The Chevy 350 does not have a timing belt, It has a timing chain. If you are wanting to know where to set the timing, then I need to know the year of the engine. Thay are all different.
how do you set timing on a 1985 350 gmc truck
clean on the front of the pump on top where it bolts on the motor there are timing marks there line up the long marks to set the timing.
8 degrees before top dead center.
The timing marks can assist a mechanic in setting the engine timing. The number one timing marks will set the number one piston so that the number one valve can be properly adjusted.

In order to set the timing on a 98 Chevy 350 vortex, you have to time with a scan tool that will let you set timing. Or let garage do it
The timing chain is slowly set as the mechanic tightens the thread.
There is a big difference in how timing is set. We need to know what year.
Need year,make and model. Now ask your question again with this info. THANK YOU.
