The timing marks line up twice- - - - -once with #1 on the compression stroke, and again when #6 is there. You can set the timing either way. It takes TWO turns of the crankshaft to make the distributor turn once. Turn 1- - - -Intake/Compression stroke- - - - -turn #2- - - -Power/Exhaust stroke- - - - -"Rinse and Repeat!" The firing order is 1-5-3-6-2-4. If you turn the distributor housing 90 degrees, NONE of the cylinders will fire correctly.
Good luck, guys- - - - -I'm over and out!
