Rebuilt 318 install problem

Forget the coil for now

You know how to use a piston stop? Verify that the timing marks are correct

Either the timing mark is wrong because the balancer has slipped, or you have a mismatched timing cover/ balancer, or you have the pickup coil leads reversed Google "rotor phasing"

You ARE connecting to the front plug on the driver's side, right?

(Fords are on pass side LOL)
