Answer 1

remove dist cap remove front left side no 1 spark plug note were no 1 spark plug wire is on cap turn over engine until compresion comes out hole look at location off the rotor try and make it point at the no1 spark plug position on distrbitor you may have to mark it with a marker when your timing mark on your balancer on front of motor is pointing at zero or the gap on your balancer is up and lined up on timing tab at zero and both rocker arms aredown and your rotor is ponting at or pretty near no 1 distribitor location you should be at one take off bolt and tab holding distribitor note which way it turns slightly as it unmeshess with cam gear. when reinstalling get a feel for distribitor docking into cam gear. do a dry run .distribitor willnot drop all the way down until you have some one bump the starter while you press down on rim off distribitor with back of a hammer handle ,wood, not metal.if everthing is right it will pop down take your time and take care dont get in hurry till you figure it out once youv done it you will go oh i see and you will never forget . remember compression rotor position rockers down balancer mark on zero at timing tab
