Ignition timing, correct?

Pull the valve cover, and watch the intake valve for cylinder 1 being opened and closed by the cam lobe. At that point you line the balancer up at 0? BTDC, and drop the distributor in with the rotor facing the distributor cap terminal you intend to use for cylinder 1.

not arguing or discrediting rogers but you dont HAVE to pull the valve cover. #1 is at the front and if you take off the oil cap you can see right in and see if both valves are closed. Saves you from having to get a new gasket or potentially breaking an old valve cover bolt.
