Answsered here 100s of times now, ok.
does the engine run now< and not fiddle by the wild bunch?
then that is very easy,
first mark all wires. 1,2,3,4 (1,3,4,2 ) is firing order
the rotor turns CCW (do not read GM book lies)
the front cylinder is #1
mark cap tower term.as #1 (the front wire goes there)
- now remove cap (distributor)
- turn engine by hand until rotor points to #1 location.
- This is TDC #1 firing point. (see crank pulley notch at 0?)
- I also mark #1 on rim of dissy. (cuz, im careful) and (ask)
- remove the clamp bolt and side plug.
- pull dizzy out. (distributor slang)
- put new dizzy in, allowing for the 13tooth gears to mesh and turn and landing with rotor on #1 mark! . (3 tries, sure)
- set clamp bolt, plug in side plug.
- Cap back on wires same as before, do not scramble the wires.
- new rotor on installed wrong, cheap rotors are just that the install wrong, and never a BOSCH rotor , it fits 1 way only.
- The engine now starts.
- set static timing using the timing freeze jumper detailed below.
- open hood (usa,) look up,see that EPA sticker and timing spec, bingo.
covers all ways (vast) to mess it up, too, not just the simple replace.
