Welcome to the forum, timing 0@tdc, 5.0 vin H

Also, with engine cranking, check for spark at the plugs. Use a gage and check fuel pressure. Check for trouble codes.

The eng is a 5.7 it has spark fuel pressure? It would idle ok but when you would steep on the gas it wonld die. I changed the throdlebody I got one from the junk yard it did not work so I put the old one back on I changed the throdle sensre and now it wont stay idieing not shure if I should chang the throdlebody or retime the eng?

The ignition timing spec is the same for both 5.0 and 5.7.

Are there any trouble codes? My info shows shows TBI fuel injection, you should be able to see injector spray pattern, do they appear to be the same? Fuel pressure around 10 psi. Right now it sounds like your running too lean for some reason? Maybe a vacuum leak? When you open the throttle is sounds like too much air or not enough gas.
