Is there a accurate way to reset the timing mark? I put the distributor firing trigger on the number one location and painted the mark but then when I strobe it, it is way below the timing mark. it is constant though and about 1.5 inches below 0 on the pulley marker. And if I try and adjust it to where the white mark that I put on the pulley would be at 6 degrees it is way off with a very rough idle.
Can i take out the number one plug and bump the engine till one is at the top and then take out the the distributor and line up the rotor so that is points at the number one spark pug wire. then set the file mark on the balancer with a file mark and paint it. wouldnt that set 0 tdc? Or should I just do it by feel?
