engine pull brackets and distributor position
I have both engine pull bracket, but can not tell where they mount to the engine. The assembly manual pictures are just not clear enough. Which manifold bolts do they bolt through?
I installed the distributor with the cap window towards the front and the tach drive directly pointing to the firewall. Tight bend in the cable. Now I see a picture with the window near #8 cylinder and the tach drive located near the driver side firewall. which position is correct?

(tach) the second one sounds more correct. Others will chime in to tell you better though.
Are you talking about where to mount the chains when pulling out your motor? If so, look at where I mounted mine. I used the threaded holes on the heads:

As for the Dist, I followed Lars' paper from http://www.corvettefaq.com but I found that my tach cable wasnt long enough. I wasnt crazy about it having to make a 90deg bend either. All I had to do was drop the dist in with the Vac advance pointing directly at the Passenger side of the motor, now the tach cable fit without any radical bends.
For the engine lifting rings, look at my sig.
