If you are on the COMPRESSION stroke at tdc, then the rotor button will be pointed at the #1 piston/spark plug...

good luck and have a great day

usually , they tell you to put a little paint mark on the dist. and the intake, so you know where it was set when you take out the dist.

good luck and have a great day
