I was about read to throw my jack throught the winsheild of my car! ive had the motor apart so many times and i checked the timing numerous amounts of times. I finally got it running thank god! Just to save you guys headaces check to make sure your cam dowel pin is in the notched part of the distributor because it will still fit if it is off....a sure fire way to tell if your timing is off is a coughing or backfire out the intake.

 

that's a DUH....
there's probably more posts about that than anything else on the forums.

 

haha...nd ill never make that mistake again

 

Shoulda asked I coulda told you that (if you did ask sorry for my blindness) Also make sure the pin is the correct lenght (if aftermarket cam).

 

Also good to triple check that your plug wires are routed correctly. I had that problem for a while.
