I have the 28oz balancer that requires the explorer wheel to be pressed on.
I am using an aftermarket timing cover that has the VR sensor fixed mount.
Question is, if I press on the wheel and am out by one degree, will that mater, does it have to be perfect, and can it be adjusted after in the tune?

yep it matters

no it cant

Can't you adjust the sensor by one degree? Is the sensor on sliding bracket?

No, it’s fixed, see pic, ignore red arrow:

Sorry wwhite, I have no idea. Mine is on the outside.

So, with the VR sensor mounted, fixed, crank at TDC, the wheel need to be mounted on balancer at where the VR is directly over the whole tooth, 5 teeth before the missing tooth? Is that correct.

Of course timing pointer would also be at 0 degrees on balancer.

First time doing this setup, hope my question makes sense.

yep on the homepage

Correct, I have a brand new one.
Using a 28oz balancer that had the 4 point star(misfire ring), and 36-1 wheel from an explorer 50oz balancer.

I’ve pressed off both rings, ready to press on 36-1 wheel onto 28oz balancer, just needs to be perfectly aligned as there will be no adjustment after wards.

If I were at work, I would get you a picture of what my Explorer,Mountaineer balancerdamper,36-1 ring looks like like at TDC. I wont be back there until Monday morning ~ 9:30 central time USA. Do you have the slick water pump pulley that I think is unique to the 96-01 Explorer front engine dress?
