The valves should both be up. If the crank is 360 out (at the end of the
exhaust stroke rather than the end of the compression stroke) the exhaust
valve will be just closing and the intake will be just starting to open. So
rock it back and forth, if the #1 valves move turn the crankshaft one full
turn.

List,
Hope you can help us straighten out a possible problem. I know this is
in the archives but they are down ...
To static time the engine the pointer is at 16 deg before TDC for 1600
recurved distributor. The rotor points to #4plug wire on cap :
--4------3--------2----------1---- front of car
dist. 1 2
3 4
Is distributor 180 deg off? Piston on #1 cylinder is up, but it is
hard to tell if it is compression stroke or exhaust. Should push rods
be down on #1 for compression stroke or up?
thanks,
linda
