Re: T25 engine
On the pulley are marks
you need to refer to the haynes manual to have them described... if you don't know
but basically one of the marks is TDC No.1 cyl firing stroke
rotate the engine till this is so.(The TDC mark lines up with the casing mark (haynes)
when the distributor is fitted the rotor arm must point to No 1 cyl on the firing stroke (both valves shut)
firing order 1432 connect the leads as such
then use a timing gun to precisely adjust it to 5 deg BTDC
