Don't worry about where #1 is cuz it won't be at TDC; put the crank gear at noon, put the cam gear at 6 o'clock then make sure you have intermediate shaft in correct position, put front cover, etc back on, now put balancer back on, put it at zero, install distributor, rotor at #1 , double check firing order, should run
Then u are on number 6 compression as stated above. U need to turn the motor over 1 revolution or put the rotor pointing to number 6. The rotation is clockwise. Kim
