See if the rotor turns when cranking, if it doesn't you probably have a stripped distributor
gear. If it does turn without jerking. Pull No1 sparkplug and hold your thumb over the hole while someone slowly cranks the engine until you feel compression, keep cranking slowing until your timing mark is aligned with the pointer. No1
piston should be at TDC and your rotor should be pointing at No1 plug wire. If it's off a lot I would repeat this procedure one more time to be certain. If it's off after this, you probably need to pull the distributor and check for a stripped gear or a sheared woodruff key. Hal
