-Put the engine no.1 piston on its compression stroke/TDC, align the crank pulley to 0/TDC markings-check if rotor is pointing to no.1 cap tower if not remove the distributor and reinstall it making sure rotor is pointing to no.1 cap tower, attempt to start-if it starts use a timing light to set the ignition timing to specs
