Set your base timing at 10 degrees BTDC. Make sure you pull the spout connector (little black or gray plug inline on the harness) before loosening the distributor.
1991 on the Mustang. I've had two 2.3 cars, a 74, and an 88. I actually don't remember either of them having a mark on the auxiliary shaft sprocket (which drives both the distributor and oil pump).When did they switch to the coil pack ?
