Just want to triple-check to insure this is set up correctly before I start sealing up the engine with all it's gaskets and covers. I know this probably seems OCD to some who have been working on these cars for decades, but this is my first engine rebuild of any type, and I've got a lot of time and dollars tied up in it. I'd hate to make a small but critical oversight at the 11th hour.

First off is the timing relationships for the distributor drive gear. With #1 piston at TDC and timing marks aligned, does this drive gear orientation look correct?




Secondly, how critical is the positioning of the timing gear squirter? The black marks indicates the current orifice location. Being a tapered thread it's difficult to get it simultaneously tight and aligned with the mesh point of the gears.
