Re: 66 292 help
Point it just past the number 4 , when you slide it in it should be right

Re: 66 292 help
Number one should be TDC on the compression stroke. Take out #1 spark plug and put your finger over the hole. You should feel air trying to escape from the hole as you rotate the engine in the correct direction. As the piston gets very close to TDC, like a few degrees before, the rotor should point to the tower on the distributor cap with #1 plug wire attached. That should get you close enough to get it running and use a timing light.

Re: 66 292 help
right now i have it pointing to number one piston... i know the piston is all the way tdc but no idea if its compression... i have my wife bump it but she hold the key too long lol ill just have to wait till tomorrow to get a buddy to help me with it...
"the rotor should point to the tower on the distributor cap with #1 plug wire attached". do you mean the rotor should be pointing towards number 1 on the cap if it was on...that is also pointing towards #1 cylinder am i right? |

Re: 66 292 help
Yes. You might even consider setting the cap on the distributor and drawing a line with a Sharpie on the base of the distributor that corresponds with #1 plug wire. That way when you take the cap off to watch the rotor, you'll still be able to tell when it lines up correctly.

Re: 66 292 help
