About 25 years ago I had same problem with another 289. That was valves to tight, loosened them and fired right up. This time I carefully adjust valves and then after no start, loosened all till the rockers were loose. 65 - 289 block, with 270H Competition Cams cam. seems that when the piston is TDC the intake was just closing. I lined up the dots on cam gear 6 for cam and 12 O'clock for the crank. Anthing else to look at before I take the timing chain cover off. I used the old timing gear set, which was new nad never run.
