Distributor is marked and pulled

Collar is not right so I have to adjusted it

Re-priming the motor and the gauge works so its the collar.

Lets up hope I can line up the distributor and just drop it back in.

Great thread guys! Lots of good info! Thanks for leaving it here and not going to email with this!

Good luck with the restart today!!

Well it doesn't like the mark I made so

back to pulling the plugs, pulling the wires, hanking the dist, unhooking the hidden crank trigger wire, and bringing it to TDC

the good news is I dont need to read the instructions from Accel on how to phase the dist and rotor. can do it in my sleep now

Well I am so happy. Started it up today and let it run for awhile and it runs great. Synced up the timing fixed some small problems but so far so good.
next todo is my Electric Fans need to be setup to kickon and my tach is not working. Also need to look into a better upper radiator hose setup, what I have now is temporary to get it running. Looking todo something in steal that I can then have powdercoated black. Also need to get the tubing for the supercharger

I shot a short (real short) video of it running.
