the chain slipped and luckily i didnt mess the engine up,and a friend is going to help em replace the chain but i need to know how to set the timing...

my dad said something about lining up the notches on the gears,but he wasnt sure how.
 
If it had a distributor you loosen it and rotate it while viewing the notches on the gears with a timing light. Once the line up correctly it is all set. You may want to at least get a haynes manual from Autozone or something to help you.
 
when you get the chain back on, the 2 timing gears need to be aligned correctly at that time. A service manual will tell you where the marks should line up.

the car computer adjusts timing as it needs to after that.
