set #1 piston front right if ur faceing the water pump on tdc then turn the destributer to where you want #one plug wire to be and look at the oil pump drive on the end of the gear then turn the the oil pump shaft bye sticking a long flat head screw driver down the distributer hole so it lines up with the drive slot on destributer gear once you have that where you want it drop the destributer in while turning the rotor slightly to engage the teath on the gear ....if it dosent drop all the way down the oil pump driveisent engaged an will need to be turned ......it may help to mark on the screwdriver handel which way the blade goes

No a 1972 Chevy pickup is not the same model as a 1973 Chevy pickup. I believe it goes from 1967-1972, 1973-1980, 1981-1987. Doors will work from 1973-1976, 1977-1987. You would need to find 1972 doors as they are the only ones taht will fit a 1972. 1967-1971 are the same but there is something different about 1972 doors.
