Have a compression tester? Plug the connector hose into #1, put yur finger over it to seal it and rotate the engine. When you feel pressure you know you are coming up on firing #1.
Once you've determined which mark is TDC. set the distributor so that the leading edge of the rotor is in line with the mark on the dizzy housing. My pulley has four marks ... Z1(TDC) and 5 degrees before TDC. A little more to the right are the 32-35 degree marks for advance. Oh, it's a 76 2.7L. Based on the 2nd image on Pelican, you are not on the TDC mark. The timing marks (for 6K RPM) are to the left of the mark you are aligned with. The timing marks are to the RIGHT of TDC. It looks like you should rotate the engine backwards 60 degees for TDC. |

OK rotated the crank back towards the drivers side and found TDC Z1 very quickly on the pulley...and looked at the flywheel opening and now I see TDC Z1 there as well. I didnt take the distributor out while doing that...now this is what the distributor looks like. I believe I need to take it out and place in the right spot...need some guidance. Look at the picture and you see that have marked it up with some colors...Is the notch in the right location or does the distributor housing need to be rotated at all? Once the housing is in the right place what color needs to line up with the notch...just not familar with this rev limiting rotor... Attached thumbnail(s)    Attached image(s)
