Subject: RE:Engine is back to life!!!!!! by dan0617 on 2008/2/13 20:39:25 Sorry, that was confusing. Before I tore the engine down I made sure the #1 cyl was on the compression stroke, then lined up the mark on the balancer with the 0 on the timing pointer. When I pulled a valve cover I saw that the #1 cylinder spark plug wire terminal on the distributor was kind of pointing towards the back of a certain rocker arm, as was the distributor rotor. When assembling, I made sure the new dist had the rotor pointing the same way and the cap's terminal 1 was there when putting the wires back on. Maybe that is a standard way of doing this, I don't know. I did it on my own, and it had the timing almost right on, which helps when you are going to fire her up. |
