I need to stab the distributor and I would really like to get it right. Its a stock distributor. Any tips or tricks ?

Crank until U get the compression stroke. Check Pointer on harmonic balancer. You should be very close to 0 BTDC. Align distributer with rotor at #1 at cap. Good Luck. -------------------- 1993 Hatch,363 CI,670 RWHP Posts: 238 | From: Cow Town,USA. | Registered: Feb 2001  |  : jph331 ¯ Member # 665 posted                              Pro M used to recommend 30 degrees before top dead center on your compression stroke. Found this to be more accurate. Set the distributor so the rotor points toward the center of the number 1 terminal. Posts: 338 | From: Concord | Registered: Dec 2001  |  :
