Not Ranked
Use a remote starter and bump the starter while holding your finger on the spark plug hole of cylinder 1. Once you feel pressure starting to build continue to rotate engine by hand until you have the timing mark on that balancer lined up with the pointer for your initial timing setting. For instance if you want 12 degrees initial timing, line up the 12 degree mark with the pointer. Check to see if the rotor is pointing at the number 1 spark plug wire. If not, get it there. While it is out, pre lube. Double check your plug wire order as well. Once you have the rotor pointing at the number one terminal, attach a vot meter to the positive side of the coil and rotate the distributor body slowly the opposite direction of the direction the rotor turns until the voltage drops. Lock down the distributor double checking that you are still pointing to the number one terminal. Fire it up.
DON'T keep cranking a fresh motor!
