How do i set the ignition timing on my 1989 Dodge 318 v8?

To set the ignition timing on your 1989 Dodge 318 V8, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn it off. Locate the timing marks on the harmonic balancer and the timing tab. Use a timing light to illuminate the marks while the engine is running; adjust the distributor by loosening its hold-down bolt and rotating it until the timing mark aligns with the specified degree for your engine (typically around 12-14 degrees BTDC for stock). Once aligned, tighten the distributor bolt and recheck the timing.
