took out distibutor which by the way has no points
but don't have any experience here so it is trial and error so in reinstalling the distributor I think I missed a tooth or aligned it improperly Now car sputters and pops but will not start I have moved distibrutor as much as I can but still no joy. This car had no probem starting before I need help in realigning the dist. properly and easiest way in order to start care and retime it. tom |

there is no teeth to line up it is an offset keyway. It would be tough to get it 180 out but it does happen. If the went back in and sat against the case like it should you got that right.
Is the rotor back on correctly? is the pioint gap set right(016)? did you loosen the long hex nut? That is what you use to adjust the timing once the dist. is on the motor. rotate the motor to TDC on cyl. #1(compression stroke)you should see the 0 on the fan line up with the V notch on the fan housing, there is a line on the dist. that the rotor should line up with. Once that is done you will be very close. Your motor should start. |
