I've never done the whole pull the entire distributor thingy and get it
lined up in the appropriate position etc... I am afraid I am going to get
everythign mis-alligned....
So I should get the two dots on the timing gears so they are basically right
one on top of the next... then pull the gear/chain, pullthe distributer,
pull the pushrods and lifters, pull the cam out... then insert and
re-assemble in reverse order?
