78 400m timing issues
Well I pulled my 78 400m apart to replace the timing chain and gears. I took the distibutor out then I realized the timing marks weren't allined and I moved the motor while the distibutor wasn't in. Not much but enough I guess what can I do to fix this?

Make sure your timing marks are still lined up on your timing set, re-install your timing cover and harmonic balancer. Make sure the timing mark reads 0 or tdc, install your distributor with the rotor pointing at the #1 post on the distributor cap. Start your engine and set your base timing to 10btdc(I think) or whatever is posted on the emissions sticker under the hood. Make sure you unhook and plug the vacume advance line while setting this. Good luck, hopefully I didn't miss too much.
