from the factory service manual





thats what it calls for per the manual.

BUT when you drop the dist in with rotor pointing at #1 term on cap,it will be 180* out of time.

I have done it that way for 30 yrs and always have been 180* out and have to reset dist on my engine every time.

now here in 2013 I swap in a hughes cam and read the instructions to turn it 1 full turn on the crank to get both dots 12 oclock high and set the dist to #1 term on cap with damper 10* BTDC.

it turned 1/2 turn of crank and fired right up and idled.

I just put another one in this week and just set the dots at 12 oclock high and set damper/dist 10*/#1 term on cap.
set curb idle to 2300 rpm fired it off and 1/2 turn on crank it fires and comes up to 2300 rpm for the 20 min break in on cam.

just sayin
