Well to begin with, it all depends on where you live. For example, if you live in Colorado the timing should be set to 10 degrees before top dead center (BTDC). First, there is an in-line spout connection. It looks like a jumper plug. Unplug that connector. Then get a timing light, one with an advance dial, and set the dial at 10 degrees, and "shoot" it at the harmonic balancer. On the 2.9L V6 the timing marks are on the harmonic balancer. There is an arrow that sits over the harmonic balancer on the passenger sider of the engine. Locate it and "shoot" your timing light at it. If the timing light is set at 10 degrees, then the number on the harmonic balancer should look like this TIC. That means you're timing is right on the money. If it doesn't then loosen up the distributor hold down clamp and turn the distributor until it goes to TIC. Hope this helps.
