Timing question
I have a 1994 mustang, and I don't know if I can use the harmonic balancer for number check because, there is no numbers anymore. Now the distributor cap has a mark I can see that is lined up to another mark already pre-etched. I would like to know what is the stock degree on 1994 5.0's, and how much do I go clockwise to advance it 2 degrees. If someone knows. And also, my ABS light stays on, is that bad?

RE: Timing question
You can't really use that amrk to determine your timing. It only takes a very slight movement to advance or retard timing (we're talking a millimeter here.)
As far as the numbers being gone on your balancer... Chances are the numbers are still on the balancer, they are just covered it dirt / oil / grime. Crawl up under the car and give it a good scrubing with an old toothbrush and some cleaner.
And yeah... a light staying on is usually a bad thing
