I just picked it up till the gear released, turned it while pressing down until i felt it catch the next tooth, then bumped the engine a little till it fell in the gear, then bumped it again and it fell all the way in. Does it apprear close in the picture? I got a new set of plug wires coming on...

Is there a trick to doing this myself, or do i need another pair of hands to turn the engine?

It was + or - 2 verified by snapon scanner. I had the engine running but hated the way the wire was hitting the intake. I currently have the #1 cyl at tdc on the compression stroke, verified with valve cover off. If i pick it up and move it, should it drop right in? Or will i have to fight it?

I have a 2000 chevy 3500 with a 454 (7.4l) and need help. I have the timing on zero but my cap is twisted to where my #1 plug wire hits the back of my intake. Am i a tooth off? If so, should i just leave it and deal with the spark plug wire? Or should move it a tooth over and readjust the timing?
