How to install distributor
I need help figuring out dodge's timing specs. When installing the distributor, do you bring it up on TDC and point rotor button to #1 on cap? If so, any good way I can make sure that I am on #1 not #6 without pulling valve covers? First time working on dodge, I am used to chevy. It seems that dodge and chevy are the same so far. I just want to get this right before putting motor down in, cause I don't think I can touch the distributor once it is all together and in. I am assuming that dodge is either on #1 or 180 out.

the best way to tell is to pull the #1 plug, put your finger over the plug hole and rotate until you feel pressure on your finger... your now on the compression stroke, continue till tdc and install the distributor so the rotor is pointing to the #1 cylinder... once you've done this and have it running, you'll need to get the fuel sync set. it's the timing for the fuel injection...

Thanks guys. Steve am I suppost to point rotor to #1 on cap or #1 cylinder, once on TDC? Also not sure what this means: (you'll need to get the fuel sync set. it's the timing for the fuel injection...) Sorry not used to working on a fuel injected motors. Figured once I got timing right it would run fine.
