I turned the motor over with my finger plugging #1, to make sure I was on the comp stroke. My damper was at TDC, but my dist(rotor) was pointed at the front bumper(should be toward the driver's seat-correct?)! I know this sounds crazy. I rotated the dist 180, because I am pretty sure it should point toward 1 o'clock. It wouldn't start after I did that. Put it back, it started. My damper does not appear to be loose. The engine sounds great stationary, but once underway, its a dog. Itdoesn't smell rich, the plugs look decent. I read in a previous thread, about someone timing the engine by advancing till it drops off RPMs, never heard of that, but I'm wondering if my timing marks are jacked. All advice is appreciated.
