Line up the center lined zero mark on the vacuum advance base plate with the pad center line, then tighten the plate down. Always make sure you have engaged the oil pump. After you have the dist. installed mark a piece of tape on the dist. side where the rotor points to cylinder #1 in case you have to rotate the distributor to correct the timing. This gives you a temporary reference point to come back to if need be.
