Since when was an 88 350 computer controlled timing. There's no vaccum advance or plug in of any kind on my distributor but on that year with no 1 on TDC the 0 on the timing mark indicator is the right position. But be careful. When replacing the distributor the spiral gear will through you off a couple teeth if you don't set it back a few teeth to start with
