Yep msg read, just distributor timing now 
from memory cylinder one piston top dead, then turn distributor to mark on distributor casing then drop distributor in and follow firing order

No worries, should have it running tomorrow Arvo, Should I put some oil in distributor hole or grease on the distributor gear being a fresh motor? I have not filled the motor all the way yet with oil

Ah ha you will feel the air blow?'quipt4it wrote:Pull up #1 spark plug. Crank the motor by hand.
When the piston comes up to the top of it's stroke, you will feel is push up against your finger while you have it in the plug hole.
