Okay, I removed the distributor and since then I've moved the crank quite a bit. Long story short I am doing a H/C/I swap. Anyway, how can I get the distributor to fire at the right time? Can I put the #1 piston at TDC and then turn the rotor to the #1 plug terminal? Any more reliable method? Thanks!
