Timing yer engine from scratch

[<mail@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try this method, it works every time;
Take out all plugs and the valve cover.
With a dowel inserted into #1 piston tap starter, turn
the crank or fan belt, what ever method floats yer
boat. The reason for removing the plugs is to release
all compression, making it easy to turn over. Look for
TDC.
If both valves are closed, indicated by both rokers
being closed, you are at compression stroke. When the
piston is at top dead center check your timing mark.
You should be at TDC there too.
If everything is good so far follow the #1 plug wire
to the cap, your rotor should be poiting to that
terminal.
Then check your firing order and direction of travel.
Any Chiltons or Clymers will have this info.
Check your gaps on the plugs, make sure they are the
correct types and check your ignition parts.
Putting everything back together should result in the
car at least firing......Russ
