When you have the #1 pistion up on the compression stroke on TDC / Top Dead Center, To make sure that the pistion is all the way up just line the mark on the balancer up with the mark on the timing cover. Then point the rotor on the distributor towards the # 1 cylinder and drop the distributor in the engine. After you try it a few times you will notice that the rotor will turn as you are putting the dist. in. And when it is all the way in the engine the rotor won't be pointing to #1, Then that is wrong. lift it back up until you can turn the rotor by hand and then turn it back away from #1 and then put the dist. back in until the rotor is lined up with #1 cylinder when the distributor is all the way down. You might get lucky the first try. But you will probley have to drop the dist. in a couple of times to get it right. It is a little tricky. Good Luck.

Where exactly is the oil pressure sensor on a 1990 Chevy 350 57L and what is plugged into it?

the oil pressue sensor should be in the rear of the motor just behind the manifold there are several types but a 1 wire or hose should hook up to it I was afraid of that -- that's what the Chilton's manual says, too, but it doesn't tell me whether I have to remove the distributor (and I can't see anything that looks litke the new sensor I have). Do you know? Ding, ding, ding, we HAVE a winner!! I found it -- for anyone else in search of the elusive little thing, it's UNDER the distributor cap.

Where are the timing marks located on a Chevy van g20 57l?

If this is a 305/350/400 small block Take the lead from the coil to the distributor "OFF" to prevent the engine from firing. This will take two people or a remote starter. Turn the engine over until the mark on the tortional damper lines up with the center or O mark on the timing tab on the front of the engine fastened to the crankcase front cover and the engine is in the number one firing position. This may be determined by placing fingers on the nuber one valve as the mark on the damper comes near the O mark on the crankshaft front cover.If the valves are not moving the engine is in the number one firing position.If the valves move as the mark comes up to the timing tab the engine is in number 6 position and should be rotated one more complete turn to bring it to the number one firing position. Also take the cover off of the distributor to determine that the rotor is positioned properly pointing to the number one spark plug then follow the firing order for that engine should be 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2 Wayne
