You need to remove No1 sparkplug near the radiator and bring No1 piston to TDC on the compression stroke. You will need a helper while one slowly cranks while the other holds his thumb over the plug hole to feel when compression is felt against his thumb. Then drop a LARGE handle screwdriver on top of the piston and watch that screwdriver rise as the engine is slowly cranked.
When it quits rising your piston should be at TDC.
Both valves on No1 piston should be closed. Your timing mark should be visible through that hole. It may be rusty too and hard to see. You should now be able to install the distributor by turning the rotor so it point's to the No1 plug tower on your cap. This should be in the 2 o'clock position as you view the cap. Then install the distributor. A mag is installed the same way. Hal
