I have the stealth intake and I forgot how to put back the distributor. Does anyone know how and/or show me a picture on how its placed on.

You have to find TDC on the compression stroke (remember there are two strokes, compression and exhaust). Remove #1 spark plug, put finger over hole, have someone turn engine over until you feel air pressure on your finger - that is compression stroke. Then line mark on balancer up with zero on timing tab. Then stab distributor into engine - wherever rotor points that HAS to be #1 plug wire, then follow firing order with remaining plug wires clock wise around distributor.

Some folks like for the rotor to point towards the #1 spark plug, but doesn't matter where it points, as long as you make that corresponding distributor cap terminal the #1 plug wire.

Thank you this helped a lot.

The fun part is getting the distributor to drop into the engine.

Get a long screw driver that you can turn the oil pump driveshaft with... You'll need to have it oriented in a certain range for the distributor to drop into it right. As you drop the distributor in you'll see it twist as it engages the cam gears. Pay attention to how far it twists. Pull it back out and note the angle of the oil pump drive slot on the bottom of it, and turn the oil pump rod to a close approximation of that orientation. Drop it in and give the rotor some good clicks back and forth and see if it will drop all the way in. If it doesnt pull it out, adjust the oil pump rod, and repeat. It takes patience. It will literally just click drop and slip into place right on the intake manifold. If you have a 1/16 to 1/4 inch gap between the bottom of the dist mount and the intake manifold it means it's sitting on that oil pump driveshaft rod without fully seating.
