it's easiest to put the balancer at about 12 degrees BTDC, then line the rotor as close to number one as possible. That way you will be at 12 BTDC on startup. It's easier than putting balancer at 0 and then guessing where 12 might be on the cap.

It's not quite as easy as you might think in theory. When you actually try to install a distributor you'll find out that the oil pump drive rod will wobble and spin just a bit all by itself during the removal and install causing difficulty during re-install. Also, when you're building an engine from the ground up, you don't have a reference point of an "old" distrib position because it's a new build-up. The procedures in this vid will help get any distributor installed, old or new.

why not look at mposition of old one for oil pump dry rod set it where odl one is same for rotor position

Lubrication of the distrib gear is covered in our camshaft install section. We applied moly lube to the cam distributor gear as the lube was also needed for the cam lobes and will transfer to the distributor gear during the lash setting prior to start-up.

I like to lube up the distributor gear on install. |
