To set timing on a Ford 601 Series without a timing light:

1. Install new distributor points and ensure the point gap is correctly set.
2. Align the timing marks manually by rotating the engine until the 44-degree mark on the flywheel lines up with the reference point on the bell housing.
3. Adjust the distributor so that the points just begin to open when the mark is aligned.
4. Tighten the distributor and recheck the point opening at the correct mark.

This method sets static timing without a timing light.
