Dan,Either you didn't sleep well last night, or I'm crazy, but there is only one mechanical TDC. For distributor positioning, you are correct. John |

In each cylinder, there is one TDC between the exhaust and intake strokes, and one TDC between the compression and power strokes -- it's that last one you need for distributor positioning.

For purposes of positioning the distributor one must be certain that it is not 180* out. We were talking about checking the marking of the balancer weren't we? |
