First u must put the engine to the top dead center by lining up the marks on the front pully of the crankshaft also make sure the marks are on the intake stroke and not the exhaust stroke by taking out the number one spark plug and putting a small piece of rag in the hole . not all the way in leave some hanging out. now rotate the crank by 5/8 socket and breaker bar clockwise until you hear a pop as the number one piston blows out the rag from the plug hole signaling that the piston is on the intake stroke .check marks on the pully for exact timing .next get the distributor and drop in the hole making sure to point the rotor to the direction of the number one piston also making sure to seat the distributor all the way down leaving the keeper loose to align rotor to the number one spark plug wire on the cap . install wires to spark plugs .next have someone crank the engine while you are turning the distributor slightly til you hear the motor start this might take a few times to get correctand a timing light will be needed for final adjustment.
Fig. : The rotor segment should be aligned with the pointer
cast in the distributor base, when the distributor is fully seated
Hope this helps (remember to rating this free asnwer).
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
The camshaft position sensor is located inside the distributor. On some distributors, the camshaft position sensor is not serviceable (replacement parts may not be available separately). If the camshaft position sensor is serviceable, use the following procedure.

Hi Bobby Possemcods, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
I am assuming you have a 5.7 under the hood. Question did you remove it entirely to switch it or did you do a timing chain.
