Take no. 1 plug out and put your finger over the hole. Using a remote starter button crank the motor until you feel compression. Then rotate the motor by hand until the bb on the flywheel is at the pointer. I usually take all the plugs out and use the fan and belt to turn the motor. Once the bb lines up with the pointer, You are now at Tdc for cylinder no. 1. Trace the no 1 plug wire to the cap and put a vertical chalk mark right under the no.1 tower. Look at the octane selector plate and put it at 0 degrees. Take the cap off and look at your rotor. It should be pointing at your chalk mark. If it’s not, loosen the screw on the clamp, not the hold down bolt, and turn the distributor until the rotor is pointed at the chalk mark. Tighten the screw. Install your plugs and wires. Confirm the wires are in the correct firing order. You are now timed to fire at tdc.
