1) i had the car driving around my neighborhood yesterday pretty well (did backfire a little when coming to a stop).

2) i noticed oil coming out from under the dizzy so i pulled the dizzy. i assessed the oil leak and decided the o-ring was the culprit and replaced that.

3) while waiting for my dad to bring the part home i plugged the speedometer cable back into my gauge cluster.

4) i put the new o ring on and reinstalled the dizzy. i went to start the car (i was gunna set the timing) and it just cranked but didn't turn over.

5) i pulled the #4 plug and noticed fuel on it. while i had it out i checked for spark. i have spark and fuel.

6) i've tried twisting the dizzy to get the correct timing but can't find it. i've tried like 6 places from max retard to max advance.

7) engine just won't turn over!

what else should i check? any thoughts?? thanks in advance guys!

 

Is your distributor in right, some remanufactured distributors can be installed 180* wrong, I know some Distributor king units can be.

 

nah its offset... can't screw it up 180*.
