depending on the year model for 1985-1990 . before even setting camshaft on timing you must have the engine in top dead center if camshaft pulley is disconnected (only) if camshaft is not disassembled then just put the engine on TDC and have distributor in TDC aswell. refer to repairs manual for TDC specs. good luck
