Thanks for the link SWARTLKK!! Seems confusing cuz im not a professional mechanic but I hope to figure it out.. But.. just got do I get the crankshaft to turn when the engine is shut off and in park??

If you have a manual transmission, put it in neutral. If you have an automatic, the crankshaft does not have a "mechanical" connection to the transmission, (you can leave it in "Park". Use a socket and a ratchet on the crankshaft dampener bolt, clockwise only!

So I re-installed the distributor and did the timing as instructed on the link the administrator posted. With the distributor out, I aligned the marks on the balance with the marks on the timing chain cover (one at the 1 o'clock pos. and 1 at the 5 o'clock position) to get it at TDC. Then I aligned the hole at the bottom of the distributor gear with the white line on the dist. shaft housing. The rotor was pointing just to the left of the front screw hole as shown on the drawing. I then placed the distributor into the engine and once installed the rotor was pointing about 2 degrees to the right of the "V" on the dist. housing. Does anyone know what I may have done wrong here?

When you installed the distributor, #1 piston was most likely at TDC of the exhaust stroke, (180* out of time). The easiest way to correct it is to manually rotate the crankshaft clockwise until the rotor segment lines up with the "6" on the distributor housing. Make sure the crankshaft marks are aligned at the 1 and 5 o'clock positions. Remove the distributor and manually rotate the crankshaft clockwise exactly one revolution so the crankshaft marks are aligned to the 1 and 5 o'clock positions. Then install the distributor so the rotor segment lines up with the "6" on the distributor housing when it is fully seated in the intake manifold. Make sure that when you rotate the crankshaft, that you only rotate it in a clockwise direction, this keeps any slack that might be in the timing chain on the driver side of the engine.
