if I have both rear wheels off ground and trans in gear, engine does not turn over, both wheel just spin.
does it matter which wheel I have on the ground when trying to turn engine over via rotating a wheel? |

Yup, that'll work. You can also get a manual starter switch, just two jumpers and a button, battery and solenoid, to use the starter to "bump" the engine into position while you watch the timing mark. Cheap. Any parts store. For lazy people like me.
