How do i set the timing if i didn't mark the distributor on a 1996 350 vortec?
The timing on that engine is controled by the computer. You can not use a timing light. The only thing you can do is move the distributor enough to get the engine to run and have power and that is called the base timing. When it does run and the engine light is not on then you got lucky, but if the check engine light comes on, then you will have to get an engine scanner and hook it up and go into the timing mode and move the distributor until you get the cam and crank in time. The scanner will show you when it is in time and the engine light will go off. Tighten distributor and your done. The computer will do the rest.

If you did not have the distributor out and the check engine light is not on. Then you have no problem with the timing and no need to scan the engine, the computer will take care of the timing.

1999 Chevy Tahoe 5.7 engine ignition timing at 13 degrees how to get this to o degrees?
You can no longer use a timing light, they are a thing of the pass. You must have an OBDII engine scanner to set the timing on that year engine, because it is now electronic controlled. You will have to hook scanner up to engine and go into the TIMING MODE on the scanner and then move the distributor by hand while watching the scanner to time the engine. THERE'S NO OTHER WAY.
