spark plug wire placement

[krue]

With the #1 cylinder at TDC on the compression stroke (easiest way to do this is with the drivers side valve cover off and #1 spark plug removed, rotate the engine (starter if your quick or with a socket on the harmonic balancer bolt) until the piston is at the top of it's stroke with both valves shut. Then insert the dizzy with the rotor pointing toward the steering wheel (or thereabouts) because as the gear on the bottom meshes with the cam it will rotate. This is going off memory because it's been a while since I did this.) You will probably have to try several times to get a feel for where you need to start. Don't forget there is adjustment in the dizzy itself so don't get worried if it doesn't look exactly right to start with.
