Hey guys, I'm sure I had crank at 12 cam at 12 o'clock when I stabbed the dist. I checked #1 at TDC, crank damp was lined up at zero and when I pulled dist cap, rotor was at #1. Would it even run 180 out? I'm leaning toward timing. Thanks, Jeff



You have it right , the engine doesn't care where you drop in the oil pump drive as long as the rotor is pointing at the tower your number 1 wire is on at the top of the compression stroke and the wires go in the right direction and order.

And NO the engine will not run if you are 180 out OR if you put the wires on in the wrong rotation direction.
