Default Distributor timing
NEW SVO 351 Engine No marks on distributor-
Which one is number one? I tried using the set up from company that I bought it from but it I think it only hit one cylinder. They said it was 3 plugs left of screw that holds cap on nearest carb. I then tried the 16 year old method (wish I hadn't)- please have a good laugh as I did- hope I didn't screw anything up- took all the spark plugs out found out which one was the highest then noted on distributor where rotor was pointing- made that number one on the distributor with the firing sequence of 13726548 counterclockwise. IT BACKFIRED THROUGH THE CARB- WHITE SMOKE!!!! Scared the crap out of me. Please tell me I didn't screw anything up.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. I haven'e checked spark yet but feel all is okay new MSD wired according to instructions. I read about mark on damper crank till on 0 then check distributor rotor. Is this good idea? Thank you in advance-
