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?

Oh for the love of God, bring the # 1 cyl. to the top of its stroke, spark plug out.
Get a piece of hose 2 feet long, about 5/8" diam. Put one end of the hose flat against the plug hole and the other end in your mouth. Blow into the hose. Blows easy ? 180 out. Resists blowing ? TDC ! Point the rotor at the #1 wire. Done. |
