Re: VIN & Block Numbers

I used the whistle to find the compression stroke and used a screwdriver to find TDC. I could move the pistons up and down with the wrench and I set TDC at the halfway point from when the piston reached the top of the stroke and started to go down, the wrench would only move a few inches. The origional timing mark could be good, it was only 1/2" to the left of the timing flange. I set the distributor with the number 1 plug at 5:00, I don't know why I had to rotate the distributor counter clockwise at least 2" to get it to run. and the timing mark is also about 2" to the left of the timing flange.
