Won't start

There are three players in this game;
The TDC being on the compression stroke, and the magnetic pickup alignment, and the rotor to tower alignment.
#1)So after you have correctly found TDC-compression, relocate the balancer index slot, from TDC to 8 degrees advanced.
#2)Then align the pick up polepiece with a reluctor tooth. Then, pop the coilwire out of the cap and near-ground it.Move the cap out of the way. Turn the key to run being carful NOT to bump the starter. Then grab that " control valve" (which I call the Vcan, short for vacuum advance canister), and back it up about 5 degrees, turning it in the direction that the arm on the control valve is pointing,retard. Then pull it back the way you came. Just before or as the pick-up and reluctor tooth align, a spark should jump from the coilwire to ground. If it doesn't then perhaps you need a bit more speed. If you cannot get a spark, something is wrong. But,once you have the spark, Try to figure out exactly when it sparks in relation to the polepiece to tooth alignment. Set it there and snug the bolt down a bit, just so it stays there, and turn the ignition off.
#3) then put the rotor on, and mark the D-house,on the outside, exactly where the rotor tip points to. Next set the cap on the D-house and index it so its on correctly. Now go look at the mark you made;it should be directly under a tower, and hopefully the tower that sends the spark to the #1 cylinder.Now if that is the way it is, it will start. So secure the cap.
But if the tower wire goes to a different cylinder, you have two choices; namely A) rewire the cap, or B) start over with the rotor reindexed to the correct tower. The engine doesn't care which you do. If you choose to rewire the cap, just put the #1 wire into the marked tower, and move each wire over in sequence, following the firing order, 1-5-3-6-2-4. And I think on a slanty, this is CCW.Check it twice, so you don't have to thru the hassle of finding TDC compression again. After it fires up, you can reset the timing with a light.

But on the off-chance that the mark you made on the D-house, indicating the rotor-tip,does not end up directly under a tower; it doesn't have to. It can be almost up to 1/2 tower space either way off center, and it will still idle. But as you might think, the closer to right under the better. But if it is off, then it is better for it to be one way than the other. Which way? Grab the rotor and twist it. If it moves CCW then the rotor tip could be CW of the tower
