Where should timing marks be on 86 ford ranger 2.9 liter when engine is top dead center?

On an 1986 Ford Ranger with a 2.9-liter engine, when the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke, the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley should align with the timing tab, typically marked at 0 degrees. The rotor of the distributor should also point towards the number one cylinder's ignition wire. Ensure that the timing marks are correctly aligned for proper ignition timing.
