    You can use the ohm meter on points type distributors
    Never heard of it working on HEI type.

    Maybe that's my problem .

    I just found a youtube video from boxwrench that shows how to install it. They just lined up a pointer to the rotor and then put the cap back on so number one is in line with the pointer. I think I'm making this harder than it actually is.

    I should have built a cheap motor first, I feel like a frightened cat everytime I touch it.

    Thanks,
    Sean

    You should spin up the oil pump before putting the distributor in.
