I think you are not completely understanding the idea of being at Tdc on the exhaust stroke or tdc on the power stroke. Top dead center has nothing to do with cam timing. Top dead center number 1 cylinder is verified using a piston stop as mentioned earlier. All this talk of cam degreeing...

You are sort of correct. The engine turns over 1 time in your scenario and it is back to compression stroke cylinder 1. Only the distributor would be 180 out. You would not have to re time the cam .....just lift the distributor spin 180 and drop back in.

Rotating the crank with out the chain will not do anything. I would just make a new mark on the balancer and reference that as new tdc. Your cam timing is keyed to the crank and cam. It won't be effected by the misaligned balancer mark

First off your cam timing will have nothing to do with the accuracy of the balancer timing marks. You place a piston stop in the number one spark plug hole and rotate the crank until it stops. Lightly mark the balance with pencil. rotate the crank the other way until it stops again. Mark...

That is slick

That is kind of what I was thinking when I heard about HEI conversion. I had always heard and still hear that the original Chrysler electronic ignition was one of the best . I could really only assume that the advantage of the HEI was the size of the cap and the simple hook up . You learn...

Ah I see. I have heard of people using a Gmail style distributor in a mopar. Using the wider spread of terminals prevents cross spark jumping allegedly. I wasn't sure if someone here had modified one.

Random question. I am not in the market at the moment for a new distributor but I have an HEI dizzy under my work bench that I have no use for. I don't own any GM vehicles at all so I was going to either sell it or chuck it. I have seen several posts on here about people running them on...

I am not familiar with the Rev Pol distributor you are referring to. I have 3 Mallory dual point distributors 1 small block and 2 big block. All have been conventional set up. Set one up on a. Distributor machine at the local college. Had it spun up and firing solid at 5000 plus rpm. That...

Dual points are not difficult to set up. Hook up you dwell meter and place a match book between the secondary set of points. Set dwell to 26 degrees. Remove matchbook and place in the primary points. Set dwell on the secondary to 26 degrees. Remove the match book and put your cap and rotor...
