    Well I'm close. I mean a few degrees, to the point that I almost have it by clocking the distributor. Issue is with TDC on number 1 is that with my accessory drive I can't easily turn the balancer

    I once had a van that gave me the same problem. I actually went to the flywheel and used a prybar on the teeth to slowly turn the crankshaft while a helper monitored piston movement. Food for thought.
