Rotor should point towards #1 cyl. and point of reluctor should be just leaving point of pick up coil. That will put you +/- 2deg.

Ill just retime it with a timing light.Rotor should point towards #1 cyl. and point of reluctor should be just leaving point of pick up coil. That will put you +/- 2deg.
No, that's not how you drop a Distibutor in. The trigger on the pick up coil/reluctor, the rotor, and the post on the cap need to be in alignment to have every thing in phase, if not you can have spark scatter and misfires that no amount of setting the timing with a timing light will correct. There's a reason the install is detailed in a FSM, Follow it and don't create more problems for yourself.I agree guys. Off to the machine shop the manifold goes!
It's at tdc right now and going back in whichever way the rotor is facing will be my number 1 spark plug wire.
Thanks guys!
Thinking of using a sanding block for some of the gasket surfaces. Whats a good grit to use? I was thinking like 400
AND they infect EVERYTHING including their own lungs with the abrasive dust (Silicon Carbide, I think) the discs throw off. GM specifically warns against using them. The abrasive dust settles in the interior of the engine, and the engine being torn apart in the next stall, and the transmission valve body being worked-on two stalls down.Worse tool out there are these abrasive discs guys are using to remove gaskets. Guess they're too lazy to use a proper scraper so they ruin mating surfaces with their power toys.
A wooden edge will loose the that battle.I'll scrape with a wood tipped blade
