Default RE: timing issue

As long as you didn't try crank the engine, just line up your timing marks. pull the dist cap off, there are screws holding the cap down. Here the tick, the dist rotor when you are on number one, the rotor blade will be lined up to the hole or near on the front valve cover side.
