I'm halfway through my FiTech and distributor install and this **** is fighting me at every turn. Shes never had any engine work in 41 years and everything is stuuuuuuuck on.

Anyway,
I need to determine base timing by finding Tdc on cylinder 1. No big deal except how the hell do I turn the engine by hand? I've pulled all the plugs and it still doesn't want to budge. Is there a nut I can get to to put a ratchet on?

It's got to be accurate so I can't just bump it with the key and get it close.
