Distributor Install on Chevy Small Block
Finding #1 firing position and Installing Old School distributor on Chevy Small Block.This video will only get the timing close enough to get the engine started. The timing still needs to be fine tuned after the engine is running.

Never did this before, followed your directions exactly, worked great for me. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Much appreciated ??
would it be the same way for Olds 403??
Turning the oil pump to allow the distributor to the correct position, makes this the best video
that's a lot of work for nothing. ,when the # 1 piston is in top dead center you can drop that dist. in anyway you want as long as the oil pump groove is turned to the right postion. when it drops # 1 wire is wherever the rotor points built many high dollar sbc and that's the easiest and fastest way. even if the rod doesn't line up you can turn the rotor till it does and drops in .then that's the # 1 wire. still a good video for beginners..
Excellent video. Thank you. It definitely helped me.
FYI I was able to do my first timing thanks to you and this video. thanks again
Thanx for great video
engage your dist turn your crank watch the rotor turn with the cam gear and wow it dropped right in
watched my Dad do this a million times as a kid. Now it makes sense. Good job!
Great video…Thanks
No matter how i turn it it always drops to 3 or points to the altenater 4 days now to many times to count it will not drop
i have 5.7 the distributor shaft was taken out and it was not marked, so would this method work on a vortec also?
dude great video, that's just what I was looking for
Thank you my friend. If it wasn't balls cold, raining and snowing I be outside right now get-her-done! lol First light I will have my truck running. Again, thanks!
I got #1 piston on tdc did it several times my rotor points at #1 when on tdc firing order correct but for some reason when trying 2 start it it's shooting gas up out of the carb and when i did. have it running when i would rev it up would blow out white clouds of smoke. What woud cause that?
You think rod and main bearings can cause such a low reading like this?
