When fuel pump eccentric is low, is engine at TDC?

Hello,

I guessing yes, but which stroke? Compression?

I just installed a fuel pump and am trying to understand what stroke the engine was in that made installing easy. I rotated the crank while I watched through the cavity where the fuel pump mounts until the eccentric was at its lowest point. The TDC mark on the balance was lined up at that point.

I hope this isn't a stupid question. I have tried to do my own research, but I don't have a grasp on the workings yet.

 

I know exactly what your talking about, but I cant remember either

 

You are correct. TDC compression.

 

Yes, this is when factory workers installed the Dizzy and the fuel pump on the Assy line!

 

Cool! Thanks. The main reason I had my doubts was that my distributor rotor orientation didn't look exactly like the picture in the service manual as pointing towards number one cylinder. Here is mine.

 

Thanks again.
