Weird Timing issue on my 318 V8 5.2L
Watch this video on how to find true top dead center on your balancer.
You'll need to buy/make a piston stop. https://www.summitracing.com/search...rtby=Default&sortorder=Ascending&N=4294887537
Once you verify/mark TDC on your balancer, put all the wires on the cap like this picture shows.
Turn your balancer around with the number one spark plug removed and feel for pressure build up with your finger on top of the spark plug hole to find the compression stroke. Once you are sure you are on the compression stroke, match the TDC line on your balancer to the 0 on your timing cover and adjust your distributor so that the rotor is facing the number one wire. Fire it up and adjust your timing with the vacuum line disconnected and plugged.
