hay guys: another thing that you may want to try is ckeck that you have spark at the spark plug wires when you turn the engine over. then do the # 1 thing as stated, another thing is when you check the # 1 for firing order the dist rotor should be pointing towards the front of the engine at about 5 oclock on the dist ,and that should put you pointing to the #1 cyl (about). one more thing that you can check is the dist cap, make sure that the screws for the coil are not too long, that will short the spark to ground. good luck.wrenchd
