Hello, you need to set the number one cylinder to top dead center, this can be done by rotating the engine and either using a 1/4" long extension to tell when the one piston is top dead or a dowel (carefully so it do not crack off) and then you need to set the rotor to point at the distributor cap one wire terminal, I will upload a photo of where number one wire and terminal of the cap should be located. this will get you in the right area.
