Timing Issue
 

Daughter spun 2 rod bearings on a 95 Windstar with a 3.8. Am having trouble setting the cam sensor. TDC on #1 cyl., compression stroke, I found a plastic tool on the net and when I install the sensor with the arrow paralell to the crank the sensor is about 90 degrees out from where I removed it and is blocking the install of the intake manifold!!!! What is the proper procedure??? I have the proper manual but it seems vague.{or I,m a dunce!!}.Thanks for any help,,,,PL
