Just a word of caution - The early model A4, up to about 1969 or so uses a prestolite/autolite distributor that has an oil cap that sticks out to one side. The distributor is removed by loosening the screw to the hold down clamp. The screw to loosen for timing adjustments is on the side of the distributor body. this is different than Delco distributors on later model A4's which is often referenced in posts, manuals etc. The point is after finding TDC on #1 cylinder you want to position the distributor placement in such a way that the oil cap has clearance and does not touch the block when you attempt time the engine by rotating the distributor clockwise/couterclockwise.
