Cool

JOE,rotate engine over clockwise while you have a finger over the sparkplug hole,when you feel compression check to see where the timing mark is on the damper.keep rotating until the mark on the damper lines up with 0 on the tab.Look down into the engine and see that the slot in the drive gear is parallel with the cam.Drop in distributor and check that the rotor is pointing to #1
