Pull No1 plug near the radiator and bring that piston to TDC on the compression stroke. Hold your thumb over the plug hole while a helper hand cranks the engine until you feel pressure against your thumb, then drop a plastic straw on top of the piston and you watch the straw rise as the helper keeps slowly cranks the engine. When the straw quit rising you should be at TDC.

Remove the cap and see where your rotor is pointing. Should be pointing to your No1 plug tower which is at 1 o'clock and your
plug wires need to be in this firing order on the cap going clockwise. Hal
PS: If the rotor is off you need to pull the mag or distributor and rotate the rotor until it is at No1 and reinstall.
