On finding the point of TDC, with the top cover of the distributor removed, watch the rotor as it turns with the timing in full retard. As it comes to #1 lug inside the dist. body that is where the dimple in the timing gear will be found. This way you'll know that your just within a few degrees. This is going to work if you have not yet loosened the screw at the top of the cam on the shaft in the distributor. Also, the condenser on the coil makes me think that there might not be a condenser inside of the distributor. Many threads on the condenser, distributor, correct wiring schematic, timing and troubleshooting. Learn to use the Advanced search function at the top of the page to gain an understanding of the do's and dont's of ignition - best approach.
