Before you remove your distributor or anything else, get a breaker bar with a socket the size of your balancer's center bolt, back out the number one plug a ways, and turn the motor over until you here air escaping from the number one plug whole. When You here this you are coming up on number one in the firing cycle. Take it to zero and then check where your rotor in the distributor is pointing. I'll bet it is off by 180 degrees as several others have mentioned.
If so, all you have to do is pull the distributor and reinstall it with the rotor pointing to number one plug wire.
Then try the gas down the carb trick.
It should fire right up.Last edited by Oldf100fordman; 08-29-2004 at 12:35 PM.
