Best Answer

Remove the number one spark plug, last cylinder on the right rear bank (passenger side) bring the cylinder to top dead center on compression stroke, check the rotor on the distrubitor making sure it is pointed to number one cylinder. Now you can set the timing with a vacum gauge for the best vacum, or using a timing light you can set the timing (?) degrees, depending on which year you have, firing order 18436572

NEW ANSWER : SORRY, but the answer above is all wrong. You cannot use a timing light on that year engine. The timing is computer controlled and you MUST use an OBDII engine scanner to set the timing.
