So if i understand , i just have to mark with a marker the position of the distributor and put back in at the same place ? Without put the cylinder 1 at. Tdc ?You don't have to but it does make it easier to get the engine back in time. No matter if I get it on TDC or not I always mark the position of the distributor on the block and the rotor on the distributor.
Ithank you for the reply . I know is easy but im curious why i need to put tdc before removing the distributor.Plenty of vids out there to show you how to do it . Just rotate to Tdc and do it right so you learn . I can literally do this process in less then 10 min I think . It isn’t hard at all
So that when you reinstall it you know the dist is in the correct spot in the timing events so you can set the timing correctly . The engine will be in the same spot . Dist goes in on cyl 1 again and then you just set the timing once the car is running and you’re good to go .Ithank you for the reply .

It doesn't have to be. It doesn't matter which position the distributor is when you pull it out.Ithank you for the reply . I know is easy but im curious why i need to put tdc before removing the distributor.

Right I agree but making a habit of starting with the engine tdc on cyl isn’t a bad thing . This way if any other things need to be done like adjusting valves etc you know where you’re starting at no matter what .It doesn't have to be. It doesn't matter which position the distributor is when you pull it out.
Some people like to put it at TDC on #1, and verify the rotor is pointing at the #1 plug before removing, then when you stab it back in the same way it's easy to start.
Make sure your spout is out when you set base timing upon assembly.
