Go back to post #25. Set engine to TDC.
Remove distributor.
Oil pump slot should point to number on intake manifold bolt
This info is from the Factory Service Manual. Do it correctly, not just make it work.
yes engine was as I stated oil pump drive shaft was pointing toward the #1 intake bolt, dist. rotor pointed to #1 on cap and #1 piston @ TDC, when dist. was removed.
