camino81 08-21-2003, 06:12 AM I'm getting ready to put my small block back in my elky and i need to find the top dead center to reinstall my distributor. whats the easiest way to do this? I just removed my intake last night and powder coated it and was wondering since i have it off if it would make it any easier to tell by watching the lifters? Any tip would be appreciated.

I then turn the engine over with a breaker bar on the crank pulley till the tissue paper pops out of the hole. It is very close to tdc on the compression stroke. It works for me.
