I have a question.
My 440, I just replaced the water pump and pulled the timing chain cover, and my timing chain gears were both at 12, and my distributor was pointing at 1.
I turned the crank and lined up the dots Cam 6, crank 12, and my distributor was pointing at I guess 6, 180 from 1, I used a camera and saw #1 piston was at the top.
If I'd kept rotating it, until the piston cycled, and checked TDC would my rotor point at 1 on the cap?
Car runs and drives. Just wondering if it's running with the distributor 180 out.
