That's right.
 How to find TDC if the spark is not above (TOP) on the piston :) Maybe you have some suggestions?

Pretor,
If you send Lars a PM on the "Corvette Forum", he will email you all kinds of detailed technical papers on ignition and carburetor tune-up and repair.   One paper in particular called "How to install your Chevy distributor" will tell you how to check your timing mark for top dead center.

Here's Lars email:  V8fastCars@msn.com

Thank you.

A warm boot (start). The problem was in the wrong setting timing. Second starter has to problem with rotation. When we made an adjustment timing ( go back "before") motor working good and start is to very well.

Glad you got it corrected, and it will now start when hot. Thumbs Up
