Pull No1 plug near the radiator and hold your thumb over the plug hole while a helper slowly cranks the engine until you feel pressure. Once you feel pressure drop a long plastic straw on top of the piston. Watch the straw rise as the engine is slowly cranked. When the straw quits rising No1 piston should be at TDC on the compression stroke. Remove the distributor cap and see where the rotor is pointing. Should be the No1 plug tower. It it's pointing to No4 you're 180 degrees off.

Hold your hand over the throat of the carb while a helper makes an attempt to start the engine to see if there's much suction on your hand. Low suction means low intake manifold vacuum. Do a compression check. Hal
