I replaced the oil pump and had to remove the distributor in the process. I failed 
to mark the position of the distributor rotor relative to the opening and closing of the points so I tried to adjust it by briefly cranking the engine. I was able to get some improvement (firing/coughing) but nothing close to starting. Frankly, I am not sure just what the timing of the opening/closing of the points is to the electrical contact to the spark plug wire is, so I am running this by the best source I know, TBN. I can post pics if needed.
Its a 4 cylinder 641 (1958 model).
Thanks.
