I am trying to set my timing. I put a rod in cylinder 1 and rotated the engine till it reaches the highest point. I am wondering do i put the button pointed to the first wire or were it connects to the rotor to the first wire.Translated to Engrish by LigouriRd at 7:56 AM 2/5/2008

You can either line up the marks on the distributor gear with the notch in the distributor or take the cap off and line up the rotor with the first point on the distributor. I typically use the latter since the gear will rotate as the the distributor is inserted into the block.

Ps: I don't believe I understood that, I was almost gonna make a crack about the flux capacitor.

My car is out of timing i think. So i put it to top dead center but i dont know how to line up the distributor.

Be sure you're on TDC compression on cylinder 1 and not TDC exhaust, by making sure your on TDC compression make sure the second marking on the crank pulley is lined up. Then b4 installing the distributor line up the markings on the gear and shaft so the rotor is pointing to cylinder 1 sparkplug, and do wat Ligouri RD stated earlier. after dats been done,use a timing light to finalyze your timing by setting it to 20 degrees BTDC +/- 2. tighten up the distributer bolts then there u go.
