Igntition timing

[JonT]

It does sound like poor timing setup, have you checked the distributer is not a tooth out ?

Pretty straight forward, use a socket on the main crank and turn it over until the timing mark on the pully lines up with the timing mark on the cover.

Open up oil filler cap, is there a mark on the top of the camshaft, if not your 180 degrees out, turn the motor over with the socket until the timing marks line up again, now there should be a mark on the camshaft.

At this point the rotor should be pointing to number one on the distributer cap. If not mark the position it needs to point at, take out the dissy and line it up properly.
