I would edit that part and say if you rotate counterclockwise, make sure you rotate past your mark and thencome backup on it clockwise. This is so much easier to do than to rotate the crank 2 complete revolutions! Other than that my vote is for a sticky! and by the way I have read most if not all of them!

RE: How To: Properly stab your distributor.
agreed that its an excellent write up. i do however have one thing to add just to help those who are not fortunate enough to have common sense. where you said to draw a line on the outside of the dizzy and then inside also, you had used a marker which is a good idea as most people would do the same, but make sure that you dont use a pencil! the lead/graphite (whatever) in the pencil actually conducts electricity and can cause a shor for that cylinder. its an old prank but if thats left like that for long it can wear through the plastic and as you could guess thats not good[&:]

dizzy won't go down that last little bit because the oil pump shaft (male) needs to be turned slightly to mesh properly with the bottom of the dizzy (female)
