Ok, here we go. Check this out. I was checking the wiring out on the dist that goes to the msd box and i had to move a clamp in order to look at it close. So I stuck my screw driver to move the wires over I touched the wires and the base of the dist and it killed the engine. I tried it on purpose with a screw driver again and it kill the motor every time. Don't know yet if its moving the wires in the base of the dist. or there is a bare spot somewhere. So I was thinking, I'm just going to pull the Dist out so I could get a good look at what is going on. Then I was shocked and confused what I saw. I brought what I believe to be the compression stroke on #1 to top dead center and made sure the timing mark was right. Well the rotor was pointing to number 2 spark plug but had #1 plug wire on it. So do people do this to make there plug wires lay or look better ? I'm thinking now, is this really the compression stroke. Will I have to pull a valve cover to make sure ? This thing has a roller cam in it and the rockers are all tied together. Will I be able to tell what position the valves are in when a pull the cover ? Or is there a better way to do this ? I'm old school where the rotor pointed to the #1 spark plug position, the piston is up, and the timing marks line up.
