It's been three years since I worked on a British car and first time
with an Alpine. I went to remove one of the plug wires and the
distributer came out with it. The PO told me it was running up until the
time it was garaged, hmmmm. To set the timing, I plan on turning the
engine until I feel the number 1 cylinder is at the top of it's stroke
(thumb over the plug hole method) AND when the timing mark is aligned.
Once there, I should be able to drop the distrubuter in with the rotor
pointing to the number 1 plug wire. I'm a little rusty, does this sound
right??? Without a manual, I'm assuming the number 1 cylinder is closest
to the firewall??
Also, it looks like the crankshaft has a slot for a round tool to
manually turn the engine. What do you guy's use to turn the engine?
Once again, thanks for the help
Anthony
