On the bottom right of page 6D-26, engine electrical, it tells you to bring the crank to 0 degrees and point the rotor between #1 and #8 spark plug towers of the distributor. This drove me crazy knowing always to point the rotor at #1 on the distributor cap and this NOT BEING a typo of wrong cylinder number but completely wrong procedure of timing a Chevy V8 when the distributor has been removed.
