help . To find #1, set TDC on the pulley, check the
valves on #1, they should be closed, now look at #2's
valves the exhaust valve should be open, if it is not
open, go around to TDC again, at this point we should
be back to TDC, #1 valves closed and #2's exhaust
open. this is set to run the plug wires now, either
turn the dist to line up #1 or move the plug wires.
