If you bought a Reverant MS, then you most likely don't need to mess with it. Start the car and when it's idling, shoot the balancer with a timing light and compare it to the idle cells in your spark table.
The timing on a '99 is different than on a 97-older, simply because you can't physically move anything. The CAS on a 97-older is adjustable, where as the '99 crank trigger is in a fixed position.

1. Install the MS in the car.
2. Start the car.
3. Go to spark settings and set it to fixed 10 degrees.
4. Hook up timing light and check timing.
5. Adjust "trigger angle" until it makes the timing show up as 10 degrees on the engine timing marks.
6. Turn of static timing.
7. Profit!
