3.0 Timing Help

[eloyc]

Got everything back together after a headgasket job and replacing mucho parts. I have crank but no start and I'm quite sure it's the timing/distributor/plugwire setup. I think I'm doing it right but probably not, I probably got it wrong somewhere, if anyone could help out with how to set it back to factory timing, thank you. Even my dog looked at it like, " yeah you aint got that set up right"

It's been a while since I did it. But, I believe base timing is set with the Spout jumper removed. On my 93, the Spout was near the ignition module up near the driver side headlight on the radiator support.
