Timing Questions

I have a 94 F350 DRW with a 7.5 and 101,000 miles. I recently had to re-do the top end due to #4 head gasket being blown. At this time I also installed a 4-row radiator. When I try to set the timing, the marker jumps around alot. What gives?

while you had it tore down did you happen to check the timing chain? that can cause a lot of slop in the timing if it's badly stretched.

I didn't have it tore down that far. Since the distributor doesn't have a vacuum line attached to it, do I need to disconnect any wire leads to interupt the advance mechanism? And if so, where is it located? Thanks for any help.

I found the spout connector and now have the timing set for my truck. It runs great. Thanks for all the help.
