I guess I could take the damper off and use the degree wheel to find TDC. Then put the damper back on while lining up TDC with one of the outside scales. Should I do that instead of the tape? If I reposition the damper then try the other valve lash adjustment method you mentioned. What I did before was: Find TDC for #1 cylinder on compression then set valve lash for both intake and exhaust valves. Then turned the crank 1/4 turn clockwise and set the valve lash for both intake and exhaust valves for #3 cylinder, then another 1/4 turn clockwise and set #7 valves, etc.. I have a 351w based cam. I have a MSD distributor (Part #8479) with vacuum advance.
