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.


so do i ...but some dont understand tdc dot aligned balancer line 0 on tab motor at tdc both valves closed it starts
