I pulled the side cover on the engine , got both lifters as low as They go (#1 cyl,), few more degrees the crank pulley mark and the pointer line up....back at #4 one lifter is up , the other down so My way of thinkin' # 1 is TDC and ready to fire . Placed rotor aimed at the coil wire hole,started #1 wire there and ran the firein' order out from there , clockwise same as the rotor turns , As per the book , turned the dist. as far toward the engine as possible , turned the engine 2 complete revolutions , turn the dist. CW away from the engine until I heard the impluse click....Was expectin' the engine to run but backfire is all I'm gettin'....Turnin' the dist. to different points in the adjustment range doesn't help....Does backfire mean the time is too far advanced? Should I move the rotor a gear hole counter clockwise , or maybe clockwise , I don't know at this point I'm as confused as a termite in a YO YO....On the impluse couplin' end I didn't see any marks as to whether the part linein' up with the driver had to go in a certain way....Now I wonder if I should bring # 1 to TDC pull the dist. turn the couplin' 180 , and start all over again...My thinkin' has always been if #1 is TDC , both valves are close , You can start # 1 where ever the rotor is pointin' and it is timed close...Never knew it to fail untill now....So have I went at this wrong , any body see where I'm missin' up....Any hints or clues would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Wild Bill
