Thanks for the fast responses - much appreciated. I love tinkering with the truck and use the search function here a lot but, again, I'm no mechanic. I have turned the distributor back to where it was (close) but working alone I haven't be able to crank while turning. I'll have help this weekend.
Secondly I did pull #1 plug and bumped it until it blew my finger off the hole. At that point the rotor appeared to be pretty close to the #1 terminal. Now, here's where I'm confused, at that point I've found TDC correct? Now I need to find the timing mark on the balancer and rotate it so it lines up with the timing tab, correct?
