Okay so I'm about to start this thing for the first time. I want to know where it would be safe to time the distro? It's a 1987 flat tappet 302 with the old 302 firing order (not the HO / 351W order). I looked at my dad's truck and copied the position of the distro. I noticed there is a notch on the distro itself, that is aligned with the holddown...

Any tips for starting this thing for the first time? The engine has not ran for 4 months and used to be EFI. I'm getting my Saab pilot bearing this morning so I'll be able to upload my 5 speed tonight and try and start the engine :banana:
