I must have been on the ramp.I thought that #1 was on the compression stroke when it was really #6.I went back and readjusted them and everything seems fine.Why is it when I think that I install the cam right on the dots that it seems to be on #6 on the compression stroke?I have done this before on a stock engine,when I dropped the distributor in on what I thought was #1 it wouldnt fire up.I moved the dist. to #6 and it fired right up.But I know for sure that the dots were right on the money.If I turn the motor over two revolutions wouldnt that be back on #1 if I started with the dots right over one another?
With the dots installed right on top of each other,then I start with number one setting the valves cold,would this be right?Or should I start with number six?It seems that when I install the distibutor on #1 with the dots on top of each other it will not fire up.But then I turn the distributor 180* it fires like normal.Am I missing something?
