For what its worth, I seem to remember that the 2.9V6 ran with
signature PIP not ordinary PIP, i.e. one of the six "teeth" was a
different width to the rest and so allowed cyl-1 to be identified.

Removing the distributer cap might resolve the problem, I'm certain
at least the early models if not all of them had the CPS timing disc
mounted in there ...
