I have a 1985 140 Mercruiser. I just put in nw rings, bearings. First time rebuilding. The crank and cam are lined up snd i just set my valve lash, all good. When i took the engine apart I marked the wires on the cap and notched the distributor. My question is where is the rotor supposed to be pointing to when i put it back in. #1 Cylinder is at TDC on compression stroke. Shouldn't the rotor be pointing to No. 1 cylinder. What is the proper way to start to get cylinder 1 to fire. Im so confused what points should be doing at TDC. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
