# F***ing piece of crap. I just pulled the #5 connector thing from the wire during another round at finding the right timing. --->>>

I thought I had it right when I set the distributor, but I guess it was 180 off or on the wrong stroke. I understand setting the #1 piston at TDC. I understand the mark on the distributor, but what I don't understand is how you pick the correct TDC. There are 2 compression strokes per cycle, but the plugs only fire in the first (after intake). So out of the 4 different positions for the distributor, how do I figure out the "right" one? Replys: I understand your frustration MIKE (93VE) 21:53:28 7/15/2003 (2) yeah, been there done that. I'm looking into other reasons for no starty--->>> unsigned (92SE/89GXE) 22:17:52 7/15/2003 (1) I replied on the org. The last sentence in this thread sounds... awsm66 (93SE) 23:05:08 7/15/2003 (0)
