What do we need to do first upon stabbing the replacement
Take out the #1 spark plug and turn the engine by hand until you feel compression building when your thumb is over the spark plug hole. Now continue turning the engine slowly while watching for the timing mark on the dynamic balancer line up with the TDC mark on the timing indicator. Position the distributor so that the rotor is pointing to the #1 plug wire position on the rotor cap. When you mesh it with the cam gear, it will move past the #1 position. Take it back out and move the rotor to compensate for the distance it moves when the distributor is fully seated. Install the base clamp and bolt but don't tighten the bolt yet. Make the engine ready to run. Hook up a timing light and start the engine and set the timing by rotating the distributor until the timing marks are correct, then tighten the clamp bolt.
