Got a question, I have in the past just tried to align the oil pump then reinstall the dist. Lets say you have the dist aligned in the correct position, you are saying that you can just turn the motor let say by the fly wheel or engine starter and get it to drop down will that throw off the timing, maybe not as long as the dist gear is ingaged and turns. Is that what you are saying. Ed ke6bnl
