Thanks for the reply, After reading some other achived posts I am wondering if I am 180 degrees out on the distributor or 360 out on the engine and coming up on the exhaust instead of the intake part of the cycle.

Assuming I am firing #1 on the exhaust instead of the intake part of the cycle, I am wondering if this will work. If I spin the distributor 180 degrees from its current position and turn the oil pump to line up, would that then put it firing #1 on the intake instead of the exhaust?

Thanks
Kevin
