first determine which cylander is number 1 and which plug lead on distributer is # 1
make a mark on side of distributor body adjacent to #1 plug
make a mark on base of distributor and block so if you mess up u know where to start from again
now loosen bolt tha holds distributer in block
only loosen just enuff to move distributor,to much and distributer will move out of place again
remove distributor cap
now holding body of distributor,slowly move distributor until rotar button is pointing at #1 position
before you tighten bolt on distributer the rotor needs to be set just before top dead centre ,as the points need to open just before rotor hits #1
retighten bolt
replace distributor cap
try starting engine
the distributor can be moved by slightly loosening bolt while engine is running if timing is not exactly right

you remove the number one spark plug and manually roll the engine ove till the piston comes all the way up the cylinder,you can check this by inserting a long 1/4" extension in the plug hole,this ill also give you your fireing order starting point to as the rotor button will point directly at the number one cylinder when the piston is at top dead center

It increases the number of digits displayed after the decimal point. It will not change the value of the number.
How do you adjust the clutch in a 1994 Honda Del Sol?
The real question is "what are you trying to adjust?" If you are looking to make your clutch petal shorter IE like a sport performance clutch you need a "quick clutch" master cylinder. Omni Power Performance has one of the best ones IMHO. If you are looking to change the engagement point well forget it, the engagement point is based of that master cylinder, if you get a quick clutch, you are either engaged (petal out) or disengaged (petal in). A standard master cylinder gives leeway on the engagement point based on the amount of fluid being pushed through the cylinder. Standard Master Cylinder Piston Size = About 15cm Omni Power Master Cylinder Piston Size = About 22

The 305 times just like any other Chevy V8. If it isn't pointing to number one on top dead center it is out of time and your power will just fade away Same on most engines.

What is wrong with your 76 Ford f100 that is skipping I have installed new wires plugs rotor button and distributor cap.?
At this point I would do a compression check. If you find a cylinder 15% or more lower than the rest you probaby have a valve problem in that cylinder.
What happens if you use the increase decimal button?
The number in the relevant cell is displayed with more digits after the decimal point.
Where is no 1 on the distributor cap of a 1984 Chevy 350 v8?
there is no hard fast rule here. but typically with the cap off and number one cylinder at TDC on compression stroke. the rotor will point at number one cylinder on the engine.
