Oil Pump/Distributor Drive Shaft Alignment
NOTE: Before installing the distributor, the oil pump drive shaft must be aligned to number one cylinder.
1. Rotate crankshaft until No.1 cylinder is at top dead center on the firing stroke.
2. When in this position, the timing mark of vibration damper should be under "0" on the timing indicator.
3. Install the shaft so that after the gear spirals into place, it will index with the oil pump shaft. The slot on top of oil pump shaft should be aligned
towards the left front intake manifold attaching bolt hole.
