Paul in CT " I will be running the B cover after its finally timed correctly."
I only want to use the A cover to mark my zero point on the crank pulley. I was planning on bolting the indicator to the cover, find TDC with the pin, and mark zero on the pulley.

Next, switch to the B cover and bolt on the indicator. Then I can line my zero on the pulley with the 14* or 15* on the indicator.

After that, I'd use the steps posted by H. L. Chauvin to set my distributor. I believe this would put my initial timing at 14* before I start the engine.
