i keep forgetting to say:
you should put the timing chain gear marks
the way it shows in those pictures.
then something else came back to me.
when you drop in the distributor:
1 it doesn't matter really what distributor tooth you engage
with the camshaft drive gear.
just drop it in with adjustment travel in the middle.
rotor facing #1 plug, that's why the distributor has
the holdown clamp and has adjustment range.
2 when you drop it in, the bottom of distributor will
probably be standing on top of oil pump shaft.
put a finger on top of distributor and turn engine
just a little with remote starter and it will drop in and
engage with oil pump.
have a nice day!
