I would rotate the engine by hand, while shining a flash light at the flywheel
to find the Top dead center stamping, at the time the number one cylinder comes up on compression stroke.
The way I know it's on compression is......all valves for the #1 cylinder
will be "loose in clearance". If any are tight, you are on intake or exhaust;
instead of being on compression stroke.
With the marks on the flywheel at TDC; with the #1 cylinder on
compression, I rotate the distributor, sometimes removing/replacing it,
so the rotor points to the plug wire that goes to the #1 cylinder. This gets me in the ballpark, so to speak, and I refine the motors running by using a timing light.-Bob
Was this useful to you? What part of town are you in?

http://www.knology.net/~jediklc/dcalc.htm 10.86 to 1 . Here is how it goes if install the plug wire # 1 on the position where the rotor actually points around 270 degrees the car backfire and won't stay running for long (run like sh.......) If I move the plug wire # 1 counterclockwise one spoot fall on around the range of 180 degrees and the car runs but still not good .And for cells is not cell on . No vacum leaks neither.Fuel preassure regulator working fine . also install anew fuel filter . Thanks for your time .............Omar
