About ready to put both halves of my engine together and was trying to install the distributor drive gear. Went ahead and put the No 1 cylinder at TDC but am not sure how to align the dictrubutor. On Jake's video he shows putthing the rotor inside the dictributor pointing at the mark on the distributor (got that) but the bracket that clamps the dizzy to the block is not fixed and spins - which makes ensuring the distributor is in correctly a moving target? Tough to explain - HELP?

look for instructions in Haynes and factory manual. it shows installing the drive gear at a 12 degree angle with respect to the case seam when at TDC. if you install it 12 degrees but the "other side" of the seam, you can't get timing marks (don't ask me how i know; forever indebted to norustscott)
