that looks right

[artymillz]

the cars point of ignition must be off with cylender #1 so it wont start

[daveedd357]

Might be a cam timing issue. You also could have forced the key in wrong.

[artymillz]

assuming i did force the key in wrong im good but not like real nasty with cars so i dont no what i do to fix that?...im just trying to learn and get some help

[daveedd357]

Some things are hard to help with without seeing the car directly. Also, we can only assume your issue.

[artymillz]

yea thats true....i been trying to find a mechanic that would come do it as a side job..if i find some1 to look at it ill repost if it worked or not

the distributor only goes in one way...if you can get all 3 bolts in then you have the distributor in right and your firing orders off...if you cant get all 3 bolts in then your distributor is 180 off meaning you have to spin the key 180 degrees around...if your cars at tdc and the distributor is in the correct way pull the cap off and see where the rotor is pointing. where its pointing is where the #1 wire goes on the cap then just complete the firing order clockwise
