Hey 6464S,
Actually, I needed to find TDC in order to slip the Distributor back into place. But, yes, the slots do line up so that the rotor will point to Cylinder #1. Now if only I can get my new Pertronix Ignition this week we may be able to create some exhaust fumes. It will be the first time since 1999!!

Check your rotor position. Should be at the #1 position on the cap.

Confirmed.
It is marked 1 and 4 because both those cylinders' pistons are fully up at that time and 2 and 3 are fully down.
As you have determined, both valves for No. 1 must be fully closed to set ignition timing.

Hello,
Can anyone here confirm that this marking is Top Dead Center? I turned the the engine over manually for hours yesterday trying to find all proper markings. ( 1/ 4 ). I had to clean the flywheel every half inch with grit paper until I came across this lonely mark. I can say that the # 1 piston was at the top of it's stroke and that both valves were closed.
Has anybody seen this before?
Sorry for the photo quality, it's the best of the lot.
