THEY ARE ALL ADJUSTED AND SET TO GO.
Did it not have any installation instructions?
The first and main thing is to get your dist set right.
Check old dist gear and side play in dist shaft.
Transfer old parts from old engine as needed.
And replace and worn parts.
I would suggest new water pump.
New thermostat
Check you old radiator.
For blockage and tank leaks.
Ac delco oil filter and good oil.
New ac plugs.
Wires and cap and rotor if needed.
Hoses and belts.
If auto matic check the fltwheel teeth.
If standard check/replace with a new clutch.
Good engines and good warranty.
Do it right and it will last you along time.
Good Luck

Change the oil every 500 miles at first.I know about reman engines from auto parts stores,use cheap parts such as pistons made in China,bearings made in Israel and the warranty sucks.
