Compression Stroke

Thanks for the info. I did measure TDC #1 with timing marks lined up, then I rotated two crank rotations to get two compression stroke. Then I stepped thru every 90 deg and created a cold lash at the correct valves. I admit I didn’t meticulously look at “split-overlap”; but have rotated it a couple times with no valves hitting. I will take into account your 10* advanced position before installing distributor.
