i have a question for you on timing

the guys at petroworks tell me when the timing lines are lined up tdc on the crank and on the cam that the distributor should be pointing to no.4

every engine Ive ever built you line up no.1 to tdc

i have a 1.3

That would be correct, the marks would be crank pointing up
