You don't need to find TDC to replace the cap and rotor. Just two screws on the
cap and the rotor just lifts off after the cap is off. It's a little tight to
swap the wires but it can be done. If you have a problem get the spring loaded
cloths pins and a sharpie marker and number them. Clip them on the wires in the
right order and when you go to put them back on you've got them marked.
