Does anyone know where to position the dizzy when refitting the distributor on a HEI distributor for 350TPI.
I have not marked out any numbers on the cap so I need to know where exactly it needs to face.
I have the motor on TDC and I am stuck at that????

OK, since you are at tdc, make sure the timing mark is somewhere near 0. You need to point the rotor to the #1 point.
Here's a rough diagram of where each plug wire should go, and where the rotor should point at tdc.
......6....5
3...............7
.........C
4........ \ .....2
......8....1
This sould have you close enough to dial in 6' of base timing. If you have to turn the distrubuter really far to get that, you are probibly a tooth off.
