To set the timing on a 1997 Jaguar XJ6, first, ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for cylinder number one. Use a timing light connected to the number one spark plug wire, and start the engine. Adjust the timing by rotating the distributor until the timing mark aligns with the specified degrees before top dead center (BTDC) as indicated in the service manual. Finally, tighten the distributor clamp and recheck the timing to ensure it remains correct.
