Set timing on a Ford Festiva 96?

To set the timing on a 1996 Ford Festiva, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Locate the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley and the timing pointer on the engine block. Using a timing light, connect it to the number one spark plug wire and start the engine. Adjust the distributor until the timing mark aligns with the specified degree (usually around 10 degrees BTDC) on the timing scale, then tighten the distributor hold-down bolt.
