Wired up the starter and got the remote starter wired up
It spins! but getting no pops or bangs.
Lets confirm timing! #1
Oh the pulley is off, lets adjust that.
Then restab the distributor.
Still nothing, but managed to get a big fireball, that tells me everything is 180o out
Turns out there are 4 different ways you can put the pulley on.
Reading a forum post on a 12a the flywheel has a cutout that when you can see it through the inspectiong window thats TDC.
Adjust timing, pulley and lets fire.
Still nothing!
Watched radpotentials video on how to set TDC, set timing adjust pulley.
Getting some pops and fires like it wants to start up but not getting to an idle.
