68 valiant/ no start

[furyfrank]

The car has a pertronics ignition, have spark to the plugs. I have a jumper wire from the battery to the coil ( bypassing the ignition ). When trying to start the engine turns over ( using starter fluid ) and will try to start after cranking for a while. I am thinking the timing is off, and was going to loosen the dist and move it when trying to start. Any suggestions ? How can you check to see if timing is off with engine not running ?:banghead:](*,)

You can use a timing light since you have spark. It dosent have to run to use a timing light.

That is what I thought, just figured I would ask to see if I was right. What should the timing be on this car and if I remember right you should disconnect the vacuum advance ?
