I'm getting more confused the more I read about setting this up. I have my #1 at TDC and I have installed the distributer in with the vacume pointed towards #6. I popped the cap off and have the brass tab on the rotor pointed towards the #1 cylinder so I think I'm good to there, but not sure.

So now I got out my multimeter and put it on ohms, I got the ground on the lip of the distributer and the positive on just about any piece of metal in there I can find and no reading while turning the distributer. Should I have it against the brass tab on the rotor or somewhere else. Am I even doing this near the right way?

Any help would be great cause I'm stumped.
