ok very simple i did this weekend pull number on plug then get plastic drinking straw and insert it into plug hole until you hit the piston next ,of course you disconnected the battery, put 15mm socket on main bolt of harmonic balancer and start to turn engine by handfirst will come one mark on the balancer align that withh lower arrow on timing chain cover and you will see another mak that shhould line up with ponter on block check you straw if its a top of cylinder one stroke you are at tdc if not turn engine until marks line up and starw is pshed almost out of spark plug hole.then take distributor and line the rotor up with a small number 6 on distributir base ,you really have to look for it then stab the distributor in and by the way the rotor will not be pointing at number one cylinder email me if you still have problems rcrge@live.com
