OK, call me crazy but i just had to say it. If you are trying to find TDC
on the #1 cyl and you point the distributor rotor at a marking that you made
on the dist housing where the #1 plug lead is at, then wouldn't you be
finding the position where your ignition timing is??? Did no one think of
this or doesn't this apply to our trucks? It DID work for me in the past
b/c my motor was timed AT TDC, but I don't think that it will work on the
DAK, b/c I know that NO car manufacturer times it's engines at TDC from the
factory. Does this make sense to anyone else???
Now let me don my nomex suit and press send...
