Is my distributor off?

Do a search, many posts on this, the short version............


Pull the no1 plug stick your finger in the hole, and bump until you feel compression.

Wrench the engine NOT to TDC, but where you want timing, IE about 15 BTC

Put the dist in, rotor pointing to no1 plug tower, with room to move the dist.

Adjust dist until reluctor is aligned with pickup coil core.

Start the engine.
