Question: I can only see the timing mark on the impeller when the rotor is in the 2 and 4 position. When I had the engine on a stand, I could see it at 1. What gives?
Lead-up story: As some of you may have read, I finally got my car running on Sunday after a total reseal project. It is a 1.8 with L jet, and I installed a pertronix while the motor was out. I also replaced the dizzy O ring, but I never loosened the timing plate. I was able to get it started on Sunday, and it ran pretty rough for a while and finally warmed up to a point where it was running OK at best. Knowing that the timing was only in the ballpark, last night, I had the brilliant idea of loosening the plate and do a little tweaking. I went a bit to far and it died. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) So I moved it back to the approximate starting position, and it would not start. That is when I decided to do it the right way, but I now my timing mark doesn't show when the rotor is on 1.

I just went over this same thing 2 weeks ago.Put a screwdriver in #1 spark plug hole and rotate the rear wheels in 5th gear til it reaches TDC then make sure the cooling fan mark is in the groove.Lift the drive gear up until it turns and line up the slot in the drive gear like in the pic in the thread Sir Andy referenced.Take note that the slot is off centered make sure you get the proper sides lined up exactly as in the pic.It will run once you do this.
