Hey Jerry==Since it is not new it is possible that it has been changed from factory. To find out where it is, if it is factory or not, pull #1 spark plug ,and the coil wire so it won't start, and stick your finger on the plug hole and have someone bump the starter to see when the piston comes up on compression stroke. When you feel preasure, turn the engine with the belts and pull the timing marks up to tdc. Pull the dist cap and where the rotor is pointing is #1 on the cap .the firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 and the dist turns clockwise. GoodluckJoe
There should be a little mark or a small No. 1 on the cap
On a high energy ignition, possible problems include: Faulty keyswitch, faulty wiring or connectors, faulty pickup inside the distributor, faulty electrical condenser, if it has points (depends on the type of HEI) the points could be bad, faulty coil or faulty HEI control module. You will need to identify which component has failed.

The #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 on 26 Mar 1969 was Dizzy by Tommy Roe.
each engine is different but give it to a mechanic and let him set it to somewhere around 32 - 34deg total timing. This will take the vacuum of the engine into play as well. If you don't want to spend the money take the vacuum off the carb and set to 4-6 deg on your timing cover. This will be pretty close to the same setting. If you have difficulty starting turn counter clockwise just a hair and you should be ok.
I'm not quite sure when it was made, but I bought a Kenmore 158.14001 in 1969.

No the distributor gear that is on the end of the distributor is to small for the big block cam shaft.
My 1969 Chevy pickup has it in the fuel tank behind the seat
on this old distributor there is a cap that holds the wires in place on the distributor. Is there a trick to remove top cap?

It depends on what parts you are looking to replace, mechanical or body parts. List the parts you are looking for.
There is a gear on the distributor shaft and a gear on the end of the camshaft that it engages with. The gear on the camshaft cannot be removed as it is part of the camshaft. The gear on the distributor shaft can be removed if it is worn; however, this is rare. These two gears must be in proper mesh for the engine to run; one cog off and it will not start.If you need further assistance google ' finding top dead center on a 350 chevy'.
