I don't get "I don't want correct timing, but have it firing the plugs other than it's supposed to" but here's how to reset the distributor. Turn the engine to TDC with a breaker bar and, I think, a 19mm socket. (Line the notch up with the 0 on the timing cover.) Line up the two dots on the shaft of the distributor and slide it in. When it goes in it will rotate a little as it meshes with the gear, so make sure it stays lined up. I think the rotor pointed at about 7 o'clock when I put mine together, but my memory may be faulty. Good luck.[/quote]
