TIMING procedure

You might have to pull the distributor and move it a tooth. What you can do is take the retaining bolt out of the distributor, have someone start it for you so you can keep it from coming out and turn the distributor until you can get the right timing, I think you need to put a jumper somewhere first in order to set the timing though. If you were 180 out, the car would backfire and act like it wants to start but wouldn't.

Let us know how it goes.
