Maniac, install the gears as Dude said, crank at 12:00 and cam at 6:00. It is easier to line them up this way. The engine will be at firing point for #6 cylinder. To get the engine at firing mark for #1, rotate the engine 1 revolution after the chain is installed. This will put the crank mark at 12:00 again, but the cam mark will now be at 12:00. (The cam rotates once for every 2 crank rotations). Once you have the engine set to fire on #1, then install the distributor to fire on #1 also. Hope this clarifies it further.
Regards, George
