Thanks for the reply. I was able to get the half moon cover off OK but the only thing on it that looks like a nub is a piece of thin plate running radially starting at the center to the lower edge of the cover. No markings to indicate what it is for. I will proceed trying to set #1 TDC at this mark lined up with the DC (1-4) mark on the flywheel. I am very surprised to learn the DC (1-4) is supposed to be at the bottom when the distributor rotor points to 1 oclock on the tower. Every time I try to find the end of #1 compression stroke by feeling air going out of the spark plug hole my distributor rotor ends up pointing between 7 and 8 oclock. Oddly the engine will start and run only if #1 plug wire is plugged in at the 7 oclock position on the tower instead of the 1 oclock position like the book says it should be. Other plug wires connected per firing order 1-3-4-2. Thanks again for the information.
