Conversation Between Rockledge and eyemall

I posted a question on the Ranger forum the other day and I was told maybe you could help me. My father in law swapped engines in his 2000 Ranger. He used a Tarus engine ( 3.0). Don't know what Vin it was. His old engine had been poping and missing as well as had very little power. He swapped engines and didn't not pay attention to where the Cam Synch was at. Now I believe it is out of time. The new engine had a TDC pointer but it was made into the timing cover. How can I go about getting this thing back in time with out a pointer and what degree is the timing supposed to be on the Cam Synch? 15 degrees or 60 degrees?
