I just rebuilt the top end of my 307. I have the heads intake and timing chain cover all back on. I am ready to set the valve lash and set in the distributor, but am curious how to set top dead center with the dizzy out. does anyone tell me how to find top dead center like this? I know to look for the timing mark on the balancer, but do not know if it is on the compression stroke or exhaust stroke.
