Watch the valves. As the engine rotates, the intake will open as the piston travels down on the intake stroke. As it reaches BDC the intake will close. As the piston comes back up it will be on the compression stroke. At TDC, drop the distributor shaft in it correctly and set the distributor in with the rotor on #1.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
