Reply to "distributor install"

Yeah, thanks. I think I got that covered. I watched the rockers, one down, then up, then the other down and up (so both valves closed = BDC) then turned motor over 180 degrees, felt for the compression with my finger in the hole.

I'll double/triple check that again anyways, but I'm wanting to know about the procedure for setting my timing points at the balancer and the distributor install/rotor position.

It's not rocket science, it's just the last time I did this was on my 68 GTO maybe 1985?

Back then we just went for it, found out the hard way when your 180 off, with THE biggest backfires ever! lol
