pulling distributor info

[dslywalker]

Got a 74 Chevy Truck with a 350.Gonna pull the points dizzy out and put electonic in.Last time I pulled a dizzy was in the 80's but here's how I remember it.Mark the rotor tip on the fire wall pop it up and mark where it comes out.If you don't lose contoll of it.Then reverse the process.
Any better advise on this would appreciated or is this the best way other than doing the number one cylinder thing.
Thanx Mike

Sounds like that would get you close enough to fire up.
