5.8L timing set number?

Ihave in my jeep a 91 ford bronco 5.8L, and i went to time it but the manual doesnt say what to time it too. I set it to 0 for now. But does anyone know where it should be set to? Im having problems with the starter acting like its low on battery when it gets warm. When i time it i pull the jumper thing by the distribitur. Am im doing it wrong?

Timing

I have a 1986 ford bronco with a 5.8 l in it i replaced the timing gears and timing chain in it i timed it and got it all put back to gether it started right up but when it warms up the oil pressure drops and it starts to sputter and try to die i have to hold my foot on the gas to get it to stay running. well i noticed my thermostat was leaking so i went to replace the gasket on the thermostat in order to get the last bolt off i had to remove the distributer i got the new gasket on and put the distributer back in and got it all back to gether and now it wont start at all what am i doing wrong some one please help i have been working on this damn truck for over a week now and i am about to give up on it
