Default Re: 1969 black on black ss 396

Dam I caught hell trying to get the distributor set in right. I had to walk away and Ill give it another shot tomorrow. Correct me if Im wrong, I was always taught to bring number 1 piston to TDC on compression stroke and drop the distributor in with the rotor pointing towards Number 1 cylinder.

I also had an issue with the oil filter hitting the headers (fram)so I went and got a stp filter which is close to an inch shorter and it went right in. Still dam near touching the header. I guess the odds were against me tonight.
