I think you probably should recheck the distributor timing again. You need to bring the
engine up on the compression. Remove No1 plug near the radiator. Hold your thumb over the plug hole until you feel compression as the engine is being turned over and keep turning the egine until the notch in the damper pulley is aligned with the pointer. Make sure you had compression
against your thumb. Now look at the rotor to see where it's pointing. It should be at No1 plug wire in the distributor cap. If it is ok your distributor is timed correctly, if not at No1 you need to pull the distr. and rotate the rotor until it points to No1 in the cap. You also need to see which direction the rotor turns, very important. Your plug wires need to go in the
firing order of the engine in the direction that
the rotor turns. After No1, then No3, then No4 and No2. If ok, check your valve clearance by
getting No1 on TDC on the compression stroke and recheck that valve clearance. Both valves should be closed. Then do the other valves on NO3, watch the rotor when it gets to No3, then to 4 and 3. Squirt some oil engine oil into each cylinder. Don't cross the wires remove one plug at a time. Should start then. Hal
