Where are the timing marks on a front mount distributor?
The front mount distributor engine has no external timing marks. Instead, the timing is set mechanically with the distributor out on the bench. The drive tang on the back end of the distributor is offset and it fits in an offset slot on the front of the camshaft, so you cannot get the distributor installed wrong.

Where is the timing marker on a Ford Focus?
Park the Ford on a level, paved surface and set the parking brake. Move to the engine compartment and find your timing marker located on the driver’s side of the engine. It is attached to the timing cover, just above the crankshaft pulley. A typical marker shows “12-8-4-0.” These are degrees before top-dead-center.
What happens when you rotate the distributor on a Ford?
When you rotate the distributor to “adjust the timing” you are moving the switch on the housing side in relation to the trigger on the shaft. Rotating the distributor housing clockwise on a Ford advances the timing (i.e. spark is being fired a greater number of degrees before the piston reaches TDC), and counterclockwise decreases the timing.
