Neutral, Neutral , Neutral, then! Take off the coil wire. Take out number one spark plug. Tap the engine around using a screwdriver to jump the two starter solinoid terminals (from left to right on the solinoid the first two). As you are tapping around the engine keep your finger on the plug hole until you feel the compression of air pushing your thumb off the hole. As you are doing this look at the balancer and you should see TDC coming up on the balancer. Now you know you are on the right stroke. Once you are close you can bring it to perfection with a 1/2" drive breaker and socket on the balancer bolt. Don't forget that the engine is going to fire at the initial timimg that you set in so you may want to bring you pointer to that mark before setting in the distributor or use it as a referance once the distributor is in, Sal.
