It has an Olds 455 that I can't seem to get the ignition timing right on. My question is, how do I get it set initially? That is, if I bring CYL #1 to TDC, where is the benchmark to align the distrubitor to??

This should get you in the ballpark. A good timing light should finish it up. Remember this only works if the plug wires on the cap are in the right place.
