EDIT 11/24/2022: I’ve posted a new video that explains the best way yet to install a distributor. But for a good background you should still watch this video so that you can have an appreciation for the better way. Link to new video:
• Best Way Yet To Instal...
In this video I show how to install the distributor mechanically timed with the engine. This actually applies to any engine with a distributor, V6 or V8. You rotate the engine to TDC on the compression stroke (see below for alternative method to find TDC) by feeling for movement on the intake roller rocker arm. If you feel movement you just passed TDC on the exhaust stroke so you must keep rotating until the marks line up again meaning TDC on the compression stroke. You can then install the distributor with the rotor pointing towards the #1 cylinder spark plug wire. The oil pump inside the engine must be rotated in the right orientation to accept the distributor when it’s dropped into place. If the distributor won’t drop in all the way or it drops in but the rotor is not pointed towards the #1 cylinder spark plug wire tower you must pull the distributor out and do it again. As the video shows once it’s all lined up you are done.
Another way to find TDC on the compression stroke is to remove the spark plug in the #1 cylinder and rotate the engine with your finger in the spark plug hole. When you feel your finger being pushed out of the hole the engine is approaching TDC so keep rotating and when the marks line up you are there.
Edit 11 JULY 2022 - This is actually a Volvo Penta based system and the ignition is a Delco EST system which I describe in other videos. However this video applies to all engines regardless of the brand ignition it has. In other words, if it has a distributor, this is how you install it.
