[Shotimes] OT- 3.8l Distributor Installation

[Steve Weinrich]

John,

That should get it together with good enough alignment for the engine to
run.

Once running, adjust the distributor position to set base timing per the
engine's specs.

Also, make sure that the engine is on the compressions stroke at TDC, not
the exhaust stroke.
