You are now at TDC of the compression stroke. Put the cap on the distributor and mark the number 1 post on the base of the distributor, then pull the cap off and drop in the distributor and put the rotor in and twist the dizzy until the mark you made lines up with the rotor. Tighten it down and put the cap back on and start the car, set timing to around 14* with a timing light, this should fix your problems if your distributor was not stabbed correctly. Try that and see if it works, if not post back with the results. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
