I'm just about ready to fire up my 418 sb Windsor, Mass-Flo EFI, after a cam, lifter and spring change. Big cam, AFR 205s, 10.5 CR, 42 lb injectors. Ran great before and hoping for the same or better now that is sealed up better.

I'm doing this by myself so I'd like to make sure it fires in good timing shape with no drama or as little as possible.

I have it at exact TDC on 1, distributor in and rotator blade is pointing at the No. 1 terminal, SPOUT is unplugged.

So, is there a more exact engine off static placement of the rotator blade, like leading edge just before the terminal or at it or whatever, that will guarantee a better starting set-up.

I can get a timing light on it pretty quickly, but I would really like to see this go well and I'm not really that experienced with the EFI Mallory.

This is a EEC-IV controlled motor, so the computer will build in 20 degrees total timing electronically, on top of the initial mechanical setting of the distributor.....I hope. I'm planning on setting it at 14 degrees initial with the light and hope for 34 total once I plug the SPOUT back in give it back to the computer.

Been at this off and on for a few months, so today is the day! Like everybody else, hoping for a good day.

Thanks for any advice or help.
