Default Dist alignment

The cap only goes on one way - its keyed.

Besure you got the plug wires correct on the cap and locate the #1 Spark terminal on the cap. Then mark the distrib housing where the post is.

When the distrib is installed correctly, the rotor will boin to the mark when the engine is at TDC on the crank mark.

But the engine is TDC twice during cycle so be sure ist on the compression stroke. Put a screw drive in the #1 spark hole and be sure it tops out at tdc or else its on the exhaust stroke.

Any errors in putting timong belt on will also cause the symptons. Need to look at cams and be sure valves are opening and closing at the right time.

Be sur ethe two marks on the cam sprockets ling up on crank TDC. You need to check that after several rev as the belt will tension and stretch after install
