clicky ---> Fuel Injection Technical Library » Setting the timing
Concept works the same for the 4.9L 6 cylinder as well.

Find the timing mark on the crank pulley and mark it if its not easy to see.
Remove #1 spark plug and disable the ignition (remove coil wire)
Turn the engine over by hand or have someone bump the motor over with the key.
With a finger covering the spark plug hole, you will feel air rushing out as the piston comes up on the compression stroke.
Watch your timing mark and stop it when it lines up.
Remove the dist cap and see if the rotor is pointed at the #1 terminal on the cap.
If its not pull the dist and drop it in with the rotor pointed at #1
