take the cap back off the distributer...

line up the timing marks...  on the balancer...   to 8 ...   see if the reluctor teeth and the pick up coil teeth line up exactly...

i take it that you did get the distributer in with the rotor pointing forward and off slightly towards the drivers side of the motor..

put the rotor back on.. set the cap on.. make sure the rotor is pointing towards where the number one wire is hooked up to...


how many key ways were there in the crank sprocket...   1 or 3 or 9...  i am talking about keyways not teeth on the outside... ?????????????????????

well it started throwing flames out the exhaust when i advanced the timing more, so i had a feeling that i was a tooth off on the distributor and after i reset that it fired rite up, and sounded awsome
