Do I have the arrow on the #1 spark plug wire? This is a distributor for a 2.0l stock FI engine.

You can clearly see the index mark on Thompsons post. Watson, its hard to see the right mark on that poor beatup diz, but its there (I think).
Type 47,That mark is NOT for adjusting valves. Its only for indexing the #1 plug. If the diz fires at 27degrees before top dead center, where do you think you valves are? I can tell you they are not both closed. If you point the rotor at that mark (notice that mark is directly under the #1 plug wire tower), and you are timed properly, Your #1 cylinder is at 27 degrees before top dead center. |

Actually, at 27ยบ BTDC Compression - yeah - they are both closed, and have been for a while... But that's a technicality. The rest of your points are spot-on... |
