Harry:
It is possible that your D does not have one. On these newer cars, the timing is set by the computer, and is not user adjustable. Look for a small ring or hoop down beside the harmonic balancer. If you see one, this is where a magnetic sensor would be placed temporarily to check the timing.
Chances are, if you have not removed the distributor, you should not have to touch timing.

The 5.2 & 5.9l engines do require that you set base timing. Align the mark on the crank (on #1compression stroke) and then make sure the rotor is aligned with the mark on the distributor housing. The computer does everything else; no timing light is required.
