Hi all,
  last year, top  wiring loom burnt out . So local auto electrician said would new harness it for £300 ..great!...left him too it , now done but......he cant get it to start , because he says , no matter how he tries, the timing seems to be out.  (The distributor had been taken out previously , and swapped with a new one .by ford ,this was when the wiring not the distributor was found to be at fault , so they put the old one back in) . If I could print some instructions for him, on how to set the Scorpios valve /distributor timing  that would be fantastic.
       Cheers Kim  Smiley

I am amazed your guy don't know how to adjust the distrubter.
It's a really old basic system.
 
As Snoopy says.
The later engines have a mark to follow, the pre 1995 ones do not you have to use a strobe light.
