I was told the distributor when installed, the vacuum port faces number 6 cylinder and rotor faces number 1. The person that did it said it didn't matter....I'm not too sure about that..he did the screw driver move and then dropped distributor in after we couldn't find marks on timing cover...

The timing cover on this 70s block doesn't have markings but has the one notch on balancer. I still have my old cover from 80s block with timing marks and balancer. can't I just swap em over??
