Turn Crankshaft until #1 cylinder is in compression stroke and aligned with 5-degree before TDC on timing case cover.

Begin inserting distributor with rotor pointing upward and distributor mounting hole aligned with center of mounting bolt hole. When fully inserted rotor will rotate into position.

Align signal rotor tooth with signal generator.

I hope the attached diagrams will help.
