Many Fords of that vintage required that a jumper be placed on a socket near the distributor. Without the jumper in place it's not possible to change the timing of the engine.

Install the jumper, set the timing with a timing light THEN remove the jumper and it should stay.

You'll need to get a reference manual to identify the jumper location and to determine the proper timing advance settings.

How do i put timing mark ford Telstar Gl?

To set the timing mark on a Ford Telstar GL, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Locate the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley and the corresponding mark on the timing cover. Rotate the engine using a wrench on the crankshaft bolt until the timing mark aligns with the desired degree on the timing cover, typically the TDC (Top Dead Center) mark. Finally, check and adjust the distributor if necessary to ensure proper ignition timing.
