If it was the timing marks on the dampener/timing tab would be within a degree or 2 of TDC unless the dampener has slipped and not likely for that to have happened. try again bumping the starter relay with a screwdriver while you hold your thumb over the #1 plug hole till you feel it pushing on your thumb AND the marks are getting close to TDC. Then continue to turn it clockwise till the marks are at 10 BTDC (mild cam) or 15 BTDC (wild cam) then line up the dist pickup magnet dead even with the reluctor tooth that places the rotor under the #1 plug wire location in the cap and the vac adv can in it's general correct location with room to be turned either way live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth

Then set the distributor so the rotor is looking at the number 1 plug. Won't be able to fire it up until tomorrow morning. Parts store gave my wrong plug wires. Hope I did this the way you guys meant to do. Thanks guys!!!! Last edited by Alexdodge; 07/05/12 11:32 PM.
