Got this car used, swapped motor with current 45,000 mls. I think the guy who put motor in didn't adjust distributor correctly. there's alot of ticking comming from under valve cover, and I'm thinking with a low mileage motor it shouldn't be ticking nearly that bad, I'm wondering where the normal setting on the distributor adjustment slot would be set at when you loosen the nut and slide it back and forth etc. It's all the way to one side as of now, but seems to have a hard, slow engine start. could this be the problem...and if so then where should the nut located on the distributor slot normaly be set on this motor...

On that car you have to disable the computer igintion adjustment.
Then set the timing by rotating the distributor.
After it's set you enable the computer control.
Check out the repair manual for full details.
P.S. It's normal for the valves to tick a little on that car, but the hard start is not normal.
