so i have a 225/6 which had a no spark problem which i fixed but in doing so i removed the distributor to replace the points. now the engine fires but is not firing correctly. it almost seems as if the engine is firing on the wrong part of the compression. also turning the distributor causes no change. a walkthrough on how to correctly place a distributor and what position the 1st piston should be at (i'm guessing Top dead center) would be very helpful. thanks

Hello and welcome. See this thread for instructions on how to retime the distributor.
