DISTRIBUTOR POSITION
If the engine was accidentally cranked after the distributor was removed, the following procedure can be used to properly position the distributor:

1. Crank the engine until the number 1 piston is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on its compression stroke. This can be accomplished by cranking the engine until the exhaust camshaft is in the position shown (Figure 9).

2. Align the timing mark on the crankshaft pulley to the "0" position on the timing indicator (Figure 10).

3. Turn the rotor until the distributor alignment marks match (Figure 11).

4. Install the distributor. Refer to Distributor / Removal and Installation.

5. Check the engine timing. Refer to Adjustments / Ignition Timing Adjustment.
