I'm just gonna leave all the back ground info out and keep this short.
Need to install a new distributor.
Motor has been cranked with the distributor off.
Nothing marked so I've got no reference for re installation.
I'd appreciate a link to where it outlines procedure or could someone be so kind as to walk me through how to line up tdc, cylinder 1 and install the distributor
I get pulling cylinder 1 plug and feeling the compression
But its not as simple as just orienting the rotor to near the cylinder 1 post on the cap then dropping the distributor in. Or is it? Last time I did this (where im at right now) I had to rotate the distributor so much the tfi module was nearly at 12 0'clock before timing got close to correct and the truck runs like crap. See my other post
