plus 2 lol can you give me a detailed write up GT from the wires from the coil where they go an basically what els to do besides put it at tdc at the number one piston with the rotor pointing at it

Your killing me smalls...
From (I) on the ignition switch (purple wire conventionally) to the ballast resistor (if it has one) from the ballast resistor to the (+) side of the coil, there should be another wire on the positive side of the coil to the (I) terminal on the starter solenoid. The distributor wire goes directly to the (-) side of the coil along with the tach. lead (normally grey in color).
To get number one on top, pull the number one plug, bump the starter until the plug hole farts on you... Bring the index mark to "0" on the timing tab. Check the distributor cap for cylinder one, this is the cylinder furthest forward on the block BTW... Rotate the rotor until the rotor is pointing at number one post. drop the distributor in the hole, it may be necessary to bump the starter again to get it to engage into the oil pump shaft... It will drop all the way once lined up. Install the hold down, attach the wiring, drop on the cap and see what it does... If it coughs back through the carb, turn it clockwise, if it just does not start and sounds lazy, turn it counter clockwise... Once it lights, have the timing light ready....
Some helpful information, the firing order is 18436572.... The distributor turns clockwise looking down at it.
What'd I win?
