A "distributor newbie" question - in the process of a Mallory-ectomy/MSD-enhancement surgery, the car's been sitting for quite a while.
I'd like to use a drill to prime the motor before starting it, but have a superstition-based fear of pulling the distributor and putting it back right.
As long as I mark the rotor position relative to the housing, and the shaft housing (?) relative to the block when I pull it out, as long as when I drop it back in I return to those marks, should everything be OK? (And apart from the
oil pump shaft being in a different orientation, everything
should line up, right?)
Thanks,
JLW
