Before installing the distributor and oil pump drive
shaft, time engine as follows:
(1) Rotate crankshaft until No. 1 cylinder is at top
dead center on the firing stroke.
I think what many are missing is the cam timing and the dist. timing are two separate procedures. Dist. requires finding TDC compression stroke #1 cly. Cam / crank does not.
Follow the procedure in FSM and you won't have any issues
