Take your #1 plug out, and put your finger over the hole where the plug was. Bump the engine over until you feel pressure. Look at the timing mark on the harmonic balancer and continue to bump the motor until it reaches near 0 on your timing tab, then pull the distributor cap off and the rotor button should be pointing toward the #1 plug wire terminal. If it is not, and you can’t turn the distributor enough to align it, you need to lift up on the distributor and turn it until it does line up, and then drop it in. If the distributor will not go all the way down after you drop it in the right place, just bump the motor until it does. Bump the motor around until the rotor lines back up with #1 terminal on the cap, and look at the timing tab and mark on balancer to be sure it is at, (0) +or- 6 deg. should not matter. Tighten the distributor enough to set your timing, and then lock it down. (It helps if you have a "bump start button")
