Before removing the distributor, set the engine at TDC and mark the relevent position of the distributor with the engine. When re-installing, ensure it goes back in with the marks lining up, and snug the hold-down bolt just enough where the distributor can still be rotated by hand. Connect all wires exactly as they were prior to removal. If you are going to use a timing light, mark the correct degree line and the TDC line with white chalk or similar. Start the engine and perform timing either with timing gun or by ear. After timing is completed, tighten the distributor hold-down bolt.
