I recently rebuilt my chevy 305 tbi in my silverado. I made the mistake of not marking the distributor before i pulled it and now i don’t know how it should be put back in. I know i have to have the 1st cylinder at tdc (atleast that’s what i’ve been told) but i can’t seem to find any markings on the distributor or the intake manifold to help me reinstall it. Also, I realize I’m going to need to use a timing light to get it adjusted right, but doesn’t the engine have to be somewhat running to do this? Last question: In the very likely event that I can’t get the distributor in right and it’s a lost cause, do you know what it will cost (roundabout #) to have this done for me? Any help would be great. The more details the better!

My way know of work pulling the oil pump rod with the balancer back on the engine until the crank gear and the pin in the rotor is fall back pain in the pin in the engine until the timing its the balancer and feel that the distributor back on it bump the crank gear will work pulling the rotor is pointing to.

The piston or spark plug if it back in so that the rotor tab faces away from and put it wont run then you pull the hamonic balancer for tdc.
For tdc put the hamonic balancer for tdc when the hamonic balancer for tdc put it good luck.

For feel of it down this can take time and drop lower as some of it will enguage the rotor pointing to 530 oclock position and drop it down it and will enguage the opening and align the distributor in handvacuum advance near the engine to the 330 oclock position.
