The question that begs to be asked is wether or not the TDC is on the compression stroke, if you don't know you better start over and get the distributor in the correct position. I've done it myself as a teenager. I think that it could be considered a right of passage. ...Ron -- 68' Camaro RS 88' Firebird Formula 00' Mustang GT Vert i can get it to run but it runs really ruff,sounds like its gonna blow or something. i was thinking about tring to re-lash the vavles. i know the timming is right. also found that my cap is broke, but i aint sure if that would do it. thanks any other suggestions?

We need more information. What year? Engine? What have you tried recently to solve this? NOI A bad cap would do it. It sends the spark to the wrong cylinder. Try the cap replacement first. > i can get it to run but it runs really ruff,sounds like its gonna blow > or something. i was thinking about tring to re-lash the vavles. i know > the timming is right. also found that my cap is broke, but i aint sure > if that would do it. thanks any other suggestions?
