Installing HEI distributor from scratch!!!
I need to know if this method will work -->
1. Stick distributor into hole and bolt it down.
2. Click engine over until spark plug number one blows your finger off the hole at the same time that the timing mark is about 11 degrees before zero.
3. When those two things happen simultaneously, wherever the rotor lands is the number one position - follow the firing order clockwise around the distributor cap.

Thanks for your reply.
1. so i dont bolt the dist down - ok
2. this step i must have correct
3. i have a chevy 350 v8, so i believe it's clockwise, but i'm not understanding what you mean by: Turn distributor slowly until it one of the reluctors points is directly across from the pickup. Please explain?
