Engine won't start

Thanks for the info. Not sure I understand the marks on the damper position though. I have a mark on what I thought was the balancer which seems to come to a position at 9:00 (before the scale that shows marks one being 0 (zero). Not sure if I should be advancing this mark into the scale (timing marks?) before the 0 or after the 0. :banghead:

If it is off by 180, you need to lift the whole dist and turn the rotor 180 degrees and then reinstall the dist.
One way to check if it`s off is to put your thumb in #1 sparkplug hole while turning the engine over by hand to feel the compression build up. The next time the timing mark show up on the damper is when you `ve got the #1 cylinder in ignition position, and the rotor should point towards #1 ignition
wire. Check this before you remove the dist.
