Look at the distributor and make a mark on the housing where the #1 cylinder connects. Then pull the distributor cap. The mark is so you know where #1 is with the cap off.

Next, bring #1 cylinder to top dead center on the compression stroke. The rotor should be pointing at the mark you made.

If you need directions on how to get #1 to TDC on the compression stroke - another topic..

The timing for a 383 stroker engine typically should be set between 12 to 16 degrees of initial timing at idle, with total timing (including mechanical advance) reaching around 32 to 36 degrees at higher RPMs. However, the optimal timing can vary based on factors such as the specific camshaft, fuel type, and engine setup.
