I've been a mechanic for ages ad never herd it described like that before, excellent!
When you set the distributor by bumping the starter, the rotor was not pointing anywhere near #1, more like #2. Did you reposition the distributor off camera?
Hi Chris. New subscriber. Wish I had watched / found your channel sooner. My S 10 gave me fits getting it timed It's a 4.3 the biggest pain was the two marks on the harmonic balancer Both were exactly the same. I am an old school tec and had never ran across that before. it turned out to be the ( second mark ) going clockwise. At least on this model I read many forums one said it was the mark that went all the way across Ha ha Nope ! The number one cylinder and all the others have the plugs going in at the side so no checking for piston at top, that way. And the Chilton's manual shows the firing order wrong So warning to your viewers there. Sorry for the long comment. I hope this helps someone out there.
All my best.

great video!!!
nice lesson. im going to garage to see if i can get my engine tostart
Very smart kid…..2 thumbs up!
Great description, wonder if I found my TDC on the intake open since my timing light points to the mark way off, retarded to almost pointing down to the ground (not quite 180 degrees off). I had given up on figuring out myself, but now I want to pull the valve cover and see. Think this could be the cause of a mark being so far off when checking the timing? Learned a lot from this. thanks for posting
Good vid. Thanks.
