pull #1 plug have someone crank till you start to feel compression
stop at TDC...top dead center.... mark on balancer and pointer plate lined up that's TDC compression stroke... now install dist....with rotor pointing towards #1 plug... dist.base where it used to be..... might not point exactly to #1.... but thats it....very easy

YOU BET.....if you can't get dizzy to sit....
try turning the oil pump shaft inside the hole....might have to get a flash light to see down there...to match up with dizzy bottom shaft...or a least close..... the stock dizzy is chamfered and goes in very easy.... try a MSD DIZZY...it's not has to be dead nut's or won't drop in...
