    Distributor Rotor alignment at TDC

    When the engine is at TDC should the distributor rotor point to #1 cylinder or intake front left bolt? The service manual states the intake bolt but I have seen some online threads state the #1 cylinder.

    Help. Engine shakes badly at idle.

    On the way back from a car show yesterday I noticed the car had a slight hesitation and engine shake. I pulled off the highway and it felt like a bad misfire. This morning I replaced the distributor cap, ignition wires and checked the coil. I don’t think it is a misfire. The engine starts...

    Rear main cap question

    see images attached. Is it normal to have this much gap between engine block and rear main cap outer stepped edge? The cap also seems to not sit perfectly flush with the block along the front and rear of cap. Is there a certain way to sit the cap in place before torquing to avoid this?
