cool, but i set my two cam shaft marks at the tdc matchmarks on the timing plate, with the dowl pins in cams facing straight up. Then the tdc "0" mark on the crankshaft...then proceded to install distributor via the notch on the shaft which matches the notch on the driven gear. insert it an viola...nothing. still. so now i start getting frantic and putting the distributor at every known tick...but wait, a hint of life comes from the engine...sputtering...check the timing...then all of a sudden it ends up at tdc "0" mark on crank shaft and the cams are 180 degrees out of align, but yet i still get life outta engine were the correct way i get nothing but cranking and fuel...whats this all about...!!! i've been struggling with this thing for over 3 days and nothing...yet...what else do u ladys & gents have for me...? thanks, bill.
