What is the timing set at on a 97 dodge ram 1500 with 5.2?

There isn't a single "timing set" value for a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L. The 5.2L Magnum engine in that vehicle is not a distributor-equipped engine; it uses an electronically controlled ignition system. Therefore, there's no distributor to adjust the timing on.

The ignition timing is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and is constantly adjusted based on various engine sensors (e.g., crankshaft position sensor, throttle position sensor, etc.). You can't adjust it with a timing light like you could on older engines. If you're having issues with timing, it will require diagnostic work with a scanner capable of reading PCM data.
