If i was 180 off, wouldn't i be backfiring. Also, when i pull the plugs and test them, they have spark. So i know im getting spark when im cranking. I have the ballast resistor on and im using an HEI distributor with the blaster 3 coil. I took the power wire that runs from the resistor to old coil and put it on the new one, then ran posotive and neg. wire from distributor to coil. So my spark is there.
When i installed the distributor, i checked for TDC by lining the notch on the balancer to the 0 on the timing plate. Verified this was indeed TDC with a flash light and screwdriver looking through #1 cylinder spark plug hole. The rotor pointed to about 7 o'clock, then i sliped the new one in same way. Then placed wires in proper order. I dont get why I have no attempt at ignition here.
