Hey--
When I install the distributor, I want the crank and TDC, and I want to drop it in such that (when the helical cut gears spin a little), the center rotor ends up pointing to the #1 cylinder, right?
My question is, how best to tell when I've got it at TDC, AND, that the #1 cylinder is on compression tdc (and not exhaust)? It would not do to set it up to spark on the exhaust stroke.
I did this once, a year ago, as part of a class: now it's just me this time, and I've forgotten how to do this detail.
thanks!
