Setting distributor with Duraspark III
Just replaced the head gaskets, after figuring out the firing order for this beast it runs but I set the rotor at #1 cylinder when the crank was at 0 degrees. Because this is a no-adjustment distributor is this correct or do I rotate the crank to 10 BTDC and put the rotor to #1?

you set the dizzy just like any other. make sure it was at TDC of the compression stroke pointing to your number 1 plug on the cap then start the engine and set timing to the specs on the valve cover.

The only thing I can change is rotor alignment - so I'm thinking I set it to 0 degrees.
I did find this:

which probably answers my question.
