Thanks Bill, I did figure that out but I assumed I could set the distributed to #4 fire. I'll try your method as it makes more sense.

My early A22's don't have fiber gears. Lucky there. My other make cars used fiber gears around the same time and some are problematic.

Actualy, if you time the engine according to the book just remember to turn the crank one full turn then you will be on #1 compression....When timing your camshaft, two things must happen at the very same time, (1) #1 piston will be at the very top of its travel and (2) valves on #1 will just be "crossing" (exh. just closing, Int. just cracking) both lifters will be down....Just think of the pairs of cam lobes on your camshaft as being in a "V" cofiguration and the lifters are setting in the bottom of the V....It works for me.
