Distributor vacuum advance hitting intake.......

Correct, set timing to TDC on the compression stroke. Then pull the intermediate shaft and rotate it so it points towards #1. It rotates slightly as it engages the cam gear so you have to account for that. Drop in the distributor and attach #1 plug wire to the post where the rotor is pointing, then install wires in order, 18436572.

To piggyback on the discussion and because I'm a lil dense. I need to rotate my housing 90/100° in order to access my tach drive. So I can simply get the rotar pointing to # 1 cylinder, rotate the housing where I want, then simply reset the plug wires in the correct firing order on the cap, correct?
