You don't need the engine at TDC on the No1 plug on the compression stroke as long as you know where the rotor on the mag was pointing when you remove the mag. You can do the same thing on a car or truck if you need to pull the distributor. You make a note of where the rotor is pointing and pull the distributor. Then don't move the engine. You can reinstall the distributor by repositioning the rotor to same spot as you noted. The engine should start and you should check or reset the timing with a light. I had to do this on my 1981 Cougar to get to the thermostat housing.

Here's the mag procedure from my IH manual. It covers timing the mag. Hal
