Do you get what we are saying in that cam at 6 o clock, crank at 12 o clock, you're not ready to drop the distributor in for number one firing ?
You either drop distributor in with rotor pointing at number six or you turn the crank a turn until the cam is pointing at 12, then drop distributor in pointing at number one.
But, if you drop distributor in pointing at number one when your timing set is showing 12 on the crank and 6 on the cam, you're 100 percent guaranteed to have a non running engine.
Personally, I don't do the try it to see if it runs then turn the rotor 180 degrees if it doesn't thing. I put it together the first time where it's guaranteed to start.
