Ok. Well, i didnt feel overly comfortable trying to freehand it on my own, so i took the cruiser to a shop. Now i feel less confident. Please tell me if this is an on target suspicion or if im nuts.
I go in to the shop today at like 3 figuring the guy is done since its just timing and its on a 350, which shouldnt really be all that hard. He tells me that i need a new dist. cap and that the wires all need rewired because they are not in the correct firing order. To me this kinda seems like he is just gonna turn the dist cap and wire it to fire. That doesnt really seem like the way ive read to do timing. Shouldnt he get it to TDC, insert the dist with the plug for #1 facing in the correct direction, then wire it? Or am i nuts?
