Yeah, also use a drill w/ broken screwdriver..remove the dist and get your oil pressure up first. The minus side of the coil is the tachometer connection as well in case you want to monitor your rpm. I would be concerned with two things on a 261.. the oil pressure and making sure oil is getting properly up to the rockers, and water temperature since you want to ensure the steam holes properly lined up. Good luck! I just did this very same thing last week!
