What is the best way to install the distributor on a /6 with the engine in the car? Obviously line up the tdc mark on the pully (and line up the dizzy rotor with the mark on the dizzy) however if I do that couldn't potentially be 180 degrees off?

You didn't say if this is a stock /6 or one from a 911. The stock /6 does not have a mark on the pulley (I believe)-you need to look for the mark on the flywheel thru the access hole. It's easier to see anyway.
If you aren't keen on sticking something in the plug hole, pull the valve cover for the 1-2-3 side. Find the timing mark and see if the intake rocker arm moves as you turn the engine back and forth around the mark. If it does, turn thru one revolution of the crank. Make sure the rotor is aligned with the mark on the distributor body when you go to install it and turn BOTH of them together as you slide it in. Now it should be close enough to start and set with a timing light. |
