Hi Everyone,
I am getting ready to start my '68 for the first time in 6 years. I've swapped th I6 for a 302 and had to install a new distributor without and reference marks. I installed it with both valves on the #1 cylinder closed, timing pointer at TDC, piston at the top of the stroke, and the rotor pointing to the #1 spark plug.
I am trying to determine if I have done this correctly. Aren't there are two points when the the cylinder is at the top of the stroke and both valves closed--one on the compression and one on the exhaust stroke? How can I determine if I have this set on the correct stroke?
I could just give it a shot but would rather elminate as many variables as possible if (er... when...) it does not start.
