Cam Timing
I have the Cam and Crank gears lined up with the dots facing each other. I know this means #1 cylinder is at TDC. IS #1 pistion at TDC on the firing or exhaust stroke?

I think all you have to do is , add the balencer and turn it 180 degrees and it will line up the zero and the timing tab and that will be #1 TDC and ready to drop the dist in on the #1 plug wire.
I just did this about 2 weeks ago.

Rotate the crank 360 degrees (not 180 degrees) and drop in the distributor so it points to #1. Then you are good to go.

YOU'RE RIGHT ! 360 - one full turn .... 180 would only be a half !
