Just a side note…..having the marks at 6 and 12 makes the engine ready to fire on # 6 cylinder and at 12 and 12 number 1. As chances are that the crank will get turned during the reassembly, I normally pull # 1 plug put my finger over the hole until I fell compression then rotate then engine until the timing marks line up before I reinstall the intermediate and distributor.[/QUOTE]


Thanks to all. I was SURE that I was going crazy. My mind was telling me that if the marks were at 6/12, the # 1 cylinder was ready to fire, but the #1 cyl. was ready to fire when the marks were at 12/12. (finger in the hole method ) So......I suppose I had it correct the first time, but my own brain was getting in the way. (happens all too often)
Thanks again for bringing me back to reality.
