Hey man, I was working on a 22RE tonight with my bosses Dad, Hie cam was at 12 o'clock and his crank was at 6 o'clock and #1 piston at tdc and had to move hie dist around a notch, you put it in at 12 o'clock and it will go ccw about 35 degrees, should land centered on #1 plug under dist cap. Goodluck.
