installing new distrib is last steps not the first. sorry.
step 1 is the crank pulley (and scale.)
always, move it to the mark 0 (0 means 1 firing or 4 firing, only the cam knows which it is, never the crank, both #1 piston and #4 are at top, TDC now)
step2 , blow into the spark hole.#1 (front cyl)
step3: if you cant blow there (your breath goes past open valves. then turn the crank 1 more full turn, CW, clock wise, landing on 0 again. (marks seen on front of Tbelt cover )
now the spark hole can not be blown, with rubber hose to lips.
now and only now can the distributor be installed.
you can not skip steps, here, the cam turns 1/2 the speed of the crank.
the cylinders fire, 1,3,4,2 . all dictated by the cam.
now with the cap installed in the distrib in your hand.
The #1 wire is a specific cap location,
if you look here, see that location? i call it 1pm from the main mount, see that.

mark put tape on that wire lug, mark tape as #1 per the drawing here.
now mark the rim of the distributor body. with pen.(just below the cap rim edge on metal there)
next take off the cap. leave it off.
see that mark you made on the rim, that is #1 firing rotor position there.
now drop the distributor so that 13 teeth align in the dissy hole.
drop it over and over to get the rotor pointer, to #1 mark you just made.
and at the same time get the base clamp hole threads seen there, bolt out, in the window of the base arc slot. mount.
then insert the mount bolt and tighten it. about center of said slot arc.
there is no other way. sorry. all marks are cut for #1 firing only. so there are no other ways.
I can time distrib to all 4 cap locations
but is not right, doing that, only the drawing is correct.
and lets the harness reach to the connector on the side correctly so only install it like the drawing shows.
