What are the timing marks on a 2.3 1993 Ford Mustang?

The timing marks on a 2.3 1993 Ford Mustang can be found on the crankshaft pulley and the camshaft sprocket. The timing marks on the crankshaft pulley are located at the 0-degree and 180-degree marks. The timing marks on the camshaft sprocket are located at the 0-degree and 90-degree marks.

To set the timing on a 2.3 1993 Ford Mustang, you will need to:

1.) Remove the distributor cap and rotor.

2.) Turn the crankshaft until the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley aligns with the 0-degree mark on the timing scale.

3.) Install the distributor rotor so that it points to the number 1 spark plug wire terminal on the distributor cap.

4.) Install the distributor cap.

5.) Start the engine and check the timing with a timing light. The timing should be set to 10 degrees before top dead center (BTDC).

If the timing is not correct, you will need to adjust it by turning the distributor body clockwise or counterclockwise. Turning the distributor clockwise will advance the timing, while turning it counterclockwise will retard the timing.

Once the timing is set correctly, you can replace the distributor cap and rotor.
