123Ignition Static Timing, Engine will not start Options

[SteveNMaine]

I just setup my carbureted 2056 with 123Ignition distributor and cannot get it started.

Basics: Compression is good, new dual carbs and there is spark.

I have read several methods of setting static timing,

Method 1: 123 manual says set timing marks at 0 TDC and turn distributor till light turns green, I did that, no Joy.

Method 2: Set timing marks at 7.5 BTDC and turn distributor till light turns green, I did that, it sounded more like it wanted to start but no joy.

Should I continue to advance the timing?

I used the coil from 123 and have the model w/ no Bluetooth the pre set curve I’ve heard is 0 up to 500 rpm after setting the cylinder 1 @tdc and making sure the light comes on with the play in the rotor taken up it runs with the first turn of the key. I’m thinking your coil may be the culprit
