[Bricklin] Distributor Position at TDC

[George Malaska]

Or you can pull the number 1 spark plug, tap the engine over until you feel
the compression coming out of the hole, then turn crank to TDC, drop dist. in
with rotor pointing at #1 in cap. Saves a lot of extra work.

  /Something else to consider when setting the distributor is that TDC
  occurs TWICE for each revolution of the distributor rotor. To be certain
  that you are working with the correct correlation between the crank and
  camshaft you need to observe that the intake and exhaust valves for
  number one cylinder are closed when the timing mark on the balancer is
  at TDC. Otherwise you will have all the timing 180 degrees out of time.
  Remove the left valve cover to see the valve action for number one
  cylinder./
