Distributor was loose somehow and I need to set the timing back correct but am having trouble finding info on how to do so. It’s a Volvo Penta 5.7 GS 3869058. Any advise?

Need a serial number, this looks like a product number which is no help

Thanks for the S/N shows GSPEFS

May just be point and shoot. Usually about 8 BTDC
Your right, point and shoot, and should be 8* but I don't a VP manual which states that, only Merc manuals stating the same
