You need to remove No1 plug near the radiator and hold your thumb or finger over the hole while someone hand cranks the engine over. You keep turning the engine until you feel compression against you your thumb. Once you feel the this compression look for your timing mark on the flywheel and slowly keep rotating the engine until
your timing marks are aligned. Both valves on No1 should be closed now. Look to see where your rotor is pointing, should be at No1 in the distributor. If it isn't gently pull distributor
and rotate the rotor to No1 and reinstall the distributor. Place the distr. cap on the distrbutor and look to see where No1 position is
if you can't determine where No1 is. I think it should be marked. Recheck the plug wires too. See which way the distr. turns I think most are
CW and follow the firing starting with No1, then
No3 is next, then 4 and 2 on a four cylinder. Hal
