How do you install a new distributor in a 351 Ford Windsor engine that the old one has been taken out of before you got it?
You will need to know; firing order, #1 cylinder location, and have a assistant. Get a basic repair manual from library to look up these things. Remove #1 spark plug from engine. Place your thumb over the hole. Have assistant crank engine over until compression is felt on your thumb; this is close to TDC or top dead center. Grab onto belt and nudge engine over until timing pointer is aligned with O or TDC on engine dampner. This is near perfect TDC. Now take and insert distributor into engine so that the #1 spark plug wire terminal on the distributor cap aligns with the rotor inside distributor. If it does not pull up distributor and reinsert till it does. Tighten everything and it should fire right up. Now you can fine tune with a timing light.

How do you reset distributor on a ford 50 motor after engine is cranked without distibutor installed?
You need to manually rotate the engine and set the number one cylinder at Top Dead Center (TDC) before re-insalling the distributor. Hopefully, you made a mark on the distributor that relates its position to the engine in orde to re-install it as it was. If you forgot to make a mark, try to remember in which direction the rotor was pointing before you removed the distributor (assuming the engine was at TDC) and re-install it as close as you can. At TDC, the rotor normally points toward the number one spark plug wire post. Follow the firing order sequence from there.

It all depends on where the engine is stopped when you pull the old distributor. It's easiest if you turn the engine to #1TDC BEFORE you pull the old distributor, then put the new distributor in and make sure it's pointing at #1 when you put it in. The most important part is the timing. Make sure all of the wires go in the same place and that the NEW distributor is aligned exactly the same as the old one.
