Ok. I finally got my distributor out-unceremoniously but it is out. Now after I get it rebuilt what is the best way to set the timing when I go to install it?  Basically how do I find the degrees BTDC to put it at so that she will run enough for me adjust it? Also, to prevent corrosion and crap from freezing it in place can I use dielectric grease or anti-seize on the base?
