**71 Dart wont start after CAM, Timing Chain and HEAD Cylinder install** HELP

^What do you mean "it won't be at TDC?"

There are 3 possibilities, (maybe 1832,000)

1. The cam may be timed wrong even though you "think." Is this a multi key advance/ retard drive set?

2....Rare but happened, you might have a reverse rotation marine cam

3....More likely the dist. is in wrong. REmove no1 plug, stick your finger in the hole and bump the engine until compression blows your finger out. Now watch for the marks and bring them up NOT at TDC but rather where you want the timing to be, IE sayt 15BTC or so

4....Check the dist. rotor is point to no1 plug wire tower. Adjust the body of the dist. so the points just open going CCW with the dist, or adjust so the pickup coil core is centered on the reluctor tooth
