I've got the 88 as far torn down as it is going to get right now.
Re-torqued the head bolts.
Adjusted the valves.
Now I am wanting to make sure that the distributor is pointed exactly where it should be.
For a fat angry old fart, there is VERY LITTLE room to work in, or even to see anything. Unless I take off the common chamber. Not gunna do that, just to check out the dist. Very frustrating.
From what I can see, the rotor could be pointing at #4, or it could be aimed a tooth above #4.
I cannot get good enough access to figure this out to any satisfying exactness.
So... Since the valve cover is off anyway, and I CAN see the end of the distributor shaft, where the gear is... My question is, is there any sort of mark on the dist shaft, dist gear, and/or camshaft gear, that I can line up, instead ???
