Default how to put a distributor back

well i took the distributor out and me being an idiot forgot to mark it i read that you take the #1 spark plug out and stick your finger in the hole intill you feel pressure and then you put it to 0 or TDC and then you mark on the distributor were #1 should be point the rotor an inch left of the mark and then you put the distributor back and it should fall close to the mark . is this info correct or is there a easyer or better way of doing it THANKS

That will get you in the ballpark. Start it up then and re-time it.

your other one is for retard. It's basically an emmissions control thing. It's supposed to go through a switch, but basically goes to the manifold.
