#1 ready to fire after cam degree

Gotcha. That makes sense.

So I'm going to have to rotate the engine to set the lash (273 adj rockers) via the cam instructions. Am I correct in thinking as long as I leave the dist in, after all the valves are adjusted, I can rotate the engine back to TDC (using the balancer mark) and as long as the dist is pointing to #1 (same position it's in now) I'm back to #1 ready to fire?
make sure the carb is filled with gas... pump it a few times
