Top dead center on comp. stroke , not exhaust stroke ! Timing mark should line up ! Intake , compression , power , exhaust ! Dist. cap usually marked (1) , mark dist. housing under # 1 , remove cap , install dist. all the way down observing location of rotor without turning housing , may be 1 tooth off , try again ! Plug vacuum hose on vac. advance , set timing !
Man I did an identical set on my 86. Hei is working great so far. I removed all the emissions crap. Freeze plugs replacement today . Get it real thanks
Before pulling the old distributor out, pull the cap off. If the rotor points away from the block, it is lined up with #1, you’re good. If it points towards the block, it’s lined up with #6, and you’re at TDC on the exhaust cycle.
Hillbilly way to find TDC, pull #1 plug, put your thumb over spark plug hole, turn engine til compression spits out, then pull distributor cap, see where rotor is pointing, and move plug wires on cap to make #1 where rotor is pointing. Works every time.
What about the electrical wiring? I have a blue cap, same setup, and I’m just trying to figure out how. Everything I’ve seen says it will be a wire off the coil (since I won’t need independent coil anymore) connecting but I don’t know which wire and I don’t know where it’s connecting to.
Thanks much bro. Im 70yo and my 83 died Monday, and had it towed. No spark. Ordered new dist on Amazon, and duraspark and got another coil.

"I almost died" 😂
These videos get better and better! I can't wait to see what you'll fix next! Maybe another Chinese 4 wheeler?
I did the same for my Wood Chipper that has a 300-6. It solved all my ignition issues.

I like you working on your 85 ford

You used the egr for a spacer and then covered up the end. Did you make the cover?
It was on the truck when I got it

One wire is keyed ignition. Hot when the key is on. The other is from the tach
