I got everyting ready to swap manifolds. I was thinking yesterday about the distributor, and how to pull it and replace it without loosing my timing. In other words I want the distributor to go back in in EXACTLY the same place it was when I pulled it. Since I haven't done this before EVER I started brainstorming.

Why not take a straight edge, and lay it across the distributor in between the terminals (mark the terminals of course) so that it points to a spot on the firewall, and then just make a mark on the firewall with some white wax pencil or something? That way when I put the distributor back in I just put the straight-edge back where it was and move the distributor until it lines up with the mark?!? Good idea? I think so.

If not please correct my fuzzy math.
