An easy way to do it quickly is mark the distributor body with a marker where each terminal is on the cap. Verify your at #1 TDC with the rotor pointing at the correct terminal. Adjust both rockers on #1 for 1/2-3/4 turn after zero lash. Remember with poly locks to go the half turn or so, back off an 1/8 of a turn and seat the set screw and then turn the rest of the way.

You can mark your balancer with a mark every 90 degrees as well and run through the same procedure.

Then repeat going through the firing order using your distributor body as reference.
I cut a window into a valve cover and adjusted them with engine running. Anybody oppose ? I have tried with running and without. Does not seem to change anything.
