Going to install my distributor on my 1928 National. - I have the #1 piston at TDC - both intake and exhaust valves are fully closed (the lifters and push rods are at their lowest position) - Timing marks on flywheel are visible in the window - firing order is 1-2-4-3
I know the distributor has to mesh with the timing cam shaft splines and the bottom of distributor has to mate with top of oil pump.
My question is, where does my rotor have to point EXACTLY on top of the distributor?
Most distributors I have on 4 cylinders locate the rotor at the notch for the cap. It is my opinion that the factory located it in that position. That positions the number one spark plug wire at the notch. Then be sure that the body can be rotated clockwise 15-20 deg. before the grease cap hits the block. That permits adjustment of enough advance.
