Re: 97' Silverado timing issue

With #1 piston at TDC on compression stroke the rotor needs to point to the #8 on the dist housing not to the #1 plug wire. Once that is set and the motor is running you'll need to set the base timing (cam retard or cam offset) with a high end scan tool that can access these settings. Base timing needs to be 0 +/- 2 degs at 1500 to 2000 rpm.

Hope this helps get you back on track.
