Freegdr, you need to tell her how to find TDC compression on #1, then set to zero, then stab the distributor.
This monkey motion of turning the crank a thousand times is silly.

Heres what needs to be done when the red clears...Keys removed from ignition a must.....You'll have to remove the #1 spark plug and place your finger over the hole while someone turns the crank. You'll feel air pressure on your finger when the piston is approaching TDC compression. At this time the index marks will be approaching each other. Bump the wrench on the damper bolt until the mark aligns on 0. That's #1 TDC compression. Then remove dist align oil shaft at 11 and pin dist and install it with rotor pointing to 5 o clock position.
