Help us out here- - - -if the entire distributor assembly was removed (not just the cap and wires) There is at least 10 positions it can be reinstalled. You will need to go through the timing-setting procedure by watching the #6 rocker arms again and getting the plug wire position synchronized with the #1 cylinder compression stroke. I really hope he only removed the cap, not the whole distributor!
Unless the flat tab at the bottom of the distributor shaft is aligned with the slot in the oil pump below it, the engine won't have any oil pressure when you finally get it running! Lots of engines have been destroyed by that little mistake.
If a man makes a decision out in the middle of the woods somewhere, and there's not a woman around to disagree with him, is he still wrong? My Mom had a classic saying- - - - -"Yes he's the head of the family, but guess who's the neck that turns the head?" I really miss both of them!
