  • You can get it running by setting the engine at top dead center. (#1 plug at top of firing stroke). Start the car with the distributor clamp loosened enough to turn by hand. Use a rag as an insulator and turn the distributor until the engine reaches max idle speed (by ear) then back it down some to a smooth idle. This isn't perfect, but it will get you running until you can get a timing light on it.
