list of things to do is find tdc, pull dist out, adjust the oil pump shaft, reinstall dist with rotor pointing to # 1 cylinder, hook up vac gauge, adjust timing till i reach highest point then retard timing to 2.5 - 3 on vac gauge, did i miss anything?
Sorry man, a straight blade, long one too, it's a ways down there. Turn it counterclockwise about an 1/8 turn then drop distrib back it to the spot you want, which is about half way between firewall and back of carb. If it drops in and is too far back still then pull it out and turn the slot a bit further, you know trail and error, haha.
