I think you are working with a distribtor. if so, 90 degrees off and it won"t run. Take out the 2 5/16 bolts (1/2 inch wrench) and pull the dist out. there is a gear on the end. examine this gear and see if it looks like the teeth are stripped. If not then turn the rotor so the metal strip is pointing to # 1. Put it back in and put the bolts in just loose enough so you can still turn it. Then watch the points as you turn it back and forth. Stop when the points are just breaking and tighten the bolts. Try starting and if it fires in the exaust and doesn"t try to run, you are off 180 degrees. Just swap the wires across from each other and try again. Fi it still won"t start, pull the cap and get the flywheel mark lined up. then look at where the rotor is pointing. It should be on # 1 or # 4. If not you have gear problems. Let us know what you find.
