Recently I posted a thread:

And to go straight to the point, I have a couple of questions on your post
SHINERSTANG that I really wanna quote and hope you or someone else may respond to it. Your explanation is AWESOME!! and I mean
TOTALLY AWESOME!! I just happen to have a hard time understanding some things I would like to remark on to make sure:
Here, What did you mean by "bump over the motor" until you can feel air blow out of the hole? Is it to twist the main crank of the motor and force an engine cycle in order to put #1 cyl on top?
Yes
Very important question here, Do you actually put a screwdriver inside the COMBUSTION CHAMBER through the opening of spark plug #1!? It seems like an "AY CARAMBA" moment when I heard it since I've always heard nothing goes in there. I just need confirmation before I do it... but I trust you on that. Also, if I have an automatic trasmission, I should set it to
NEUTRAL before I attempt to move the engine, correct?
Once you feel the #1 Cylinder coming up on the compression stroke, you stop, and use a socket on the crank pulley to ensure the cylinder is all the way up top. It is easier to stick a screwdriver into the sparkplug hole so you can feel when it comes all the way up. You will not hurt your piston if you are hand turning the motor at this point. The car can be in park, just disconnect your fuel pump fuse so you are not throwing fuel into the cylinders and disconnect your plug going to your coilpack. No gas, no spark, no chance of starting.
This is where ignorance kicks in:weeps ... I need a picture, a sketch or something of that
PIN that you refer to. I believe it should be between the black sensor cap and the shaft of the synchronizer. I know there is a positive and negative on the black cap, but I have not dissassemble the part myself yet. I'm gonna need a lot of luck on this one. I'm a mechanic by heart and a little practice, but not by theory.
Again, me and my ignorance, forgive me for it. I just don't know where this pin is, and less when you associate it with a "window". I need some help locating that pin you talk about.
The position of the shaft of the distributor with the little gear going into the crankshaft WOULD NOT AFFECT THE ENGINE FIRING CYCLE as long as CYL #1 is dead on top, right? Also, do you think it's a good idea to disconnect the battery with the fuel pump fuse too before starting? And please, post the firing cycle of the engine together with some explanation about that pin. I would truly appreciate it, sooooo much. Help me start 2010 squeak-free! It's annoying and I heard it could lock the engine if I don't replace it soon. I don't want any damage, there is a lonely MUSTANG sitting in a parking spot waiting for me to fix just that part. Lend me a hand!:wavey
Correct on position it does not matter where the sensor(distributor) is located. As long as you are on TDC of #1, and the pin is in the window, you are free and clear. The only way to see the pin is to remove your sensor with the 6mm(?) bolts on the top of it. Once you remove that, you will see a metal pin that spins when you crank the motor over. That is the pin that I'm speaking of.
I'm awakening from this dreadful nightmare. . . You all made it possible.
