How do you set 97 Nissan pickup timing?

To set the timing on a 1997 Nissan pickup, first, ensure the engine is at operating temperature and then turn off the engine. Next, locate the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley and the timing scale on the engine. Use a timing light to check the timing by connecting it to the number one cylinder spark plug wire and aiming it at the timing marks while the engine is running. Adjust the distributor as needed to align the timing mark with the specified timing value found in the vehicle's service manual.
