Ok, I actually have installed a distributor before on several pontiacs and this should have been no different but...
I made multiple markings to insure that I pull the distrubutor straight out and put the new one straight back in yes? I absolutely did not move the truck or turn the crank. But when I sat the new distributor in place the rotor position is about 1 inch clockwise away from the original. Is this OK? Is there anyway to recover from this without going though all of that TDC riggamarole? Or am I ok and should I just crank it up?
