To set the ignition timing on a 14.5 OHV Briggs & Stratton engine, first, remove the flywheel shroud and locate the timing key on the flywheel. Use a dial indicator to find top dead center (TDC) on the piston, then align the timing mark on the flywheel with the mark on the engine block. Adjust the position of the ignition coil if necessary, maintaining a gap of about 0.010 inches between the coil and the flywheel. Finally, reassemble all components and test the engine to ensure proper operation.

More than likely, there will be a dot on the gear on the crankshaft, and on the timing gear, and you just need to make sure that they line up.
Good question! I don't find any oil filter or mount for one on my Briggs 15 horse OHV

To set the ignition timing on a 1300 OHV Escort engine, first ensure the engine is at operating temperature and stationary. Use a timing light connected to the number one cylinder spark plug wire, and then locate the timing marks on the crankshaft pulley and the engine block. Adjust the distributor by loosening its clamp and rotating it until the timing mark aligns with the specified degree (usually around 6-10 degrees BTDC for this engine). Finally, tighten the distributor clamp and recheck the timing to ensure it remains correctly set.
Right from the 1991 Explorer , the 4.0 L OHV engine was EDIS ( electronic distributorless ignition system ) using a coil pack instead of a distributor
