Distirbutor O-ring help #2

[wainaink]

Thanks for the help guys. Just one more question before i attempt to change it. The mark on the distributor, how do i do it!! Do I use a pen and mark across, then align the distributor with the mark i made when am putting it back together??? messing up the timing is something i don't want. On a budget here.

Use a Peice of chalk (yellow or white) and mark a part of the distributer that will not change form in away way, and a part on the head that won't change form in any away, and make sure that they are lined up evenly, so that when you put it back on, you can line it back up, then tighten the bolts

Oh yeah! and Be sure to mark the timing BEFORE you Change anything! or else you could mess it up!! Don't even put a ratchet close to a bolt before you have marked it!
