Since there are no timing marks on the balencer I figured I could use the valves to find TDC. I have a stop in #1. #1 Both valves are closed. #8 both valves are closed. #4 exhaust is closed,intake is about 1/2 open. I am thinking that should be TDC on #1. Fireing order is 1 8 4 3 6 5 7 2 Can any of the chevy experts out there tell me if I am right or wrong or if there is a better way to do it.
Thanks, Jerry |

Well, as I said, TDC is when the piston is at the top of the compression stoke with both valves closed. Good luck.

Thanks to all that replied. I was not trying to set timing,I use an Electromotive ignition so there is no dizzy. I needed the most accurete way to find TDC to set my crank trigger. The most accurete is the way drive-ability said.
