Just thinking out loud - starting from TDC

If you initially installed the cam and crank gears dot to dot then rotated around to get them both at 12 oclock, wouldn't #6 would be on the compression stroke at that point (?)

If the dist is dropped in pointing at #1 it would be way out. (Retarded / 180 out) as others have stated.

Maybe.. pull the dist back up and turn your oil pump gear so the dist will drop and the rotor points at #6 on the intake stroke. Just curious if it will fire.

I'm not following why Comp would suggest 6/12 oclock on the installation then rotate to 12/12 ? If I'm at TDC at 6/12 and rotate it then lining the dist up at #1 the traditional way kinda goes away .. the crank would rotate a full rotation for 1/2 the cam rotation.
