So I pulled the plugs, cleaned and gapped them. Getting good spark on the plugs and checked the coil with a spark tester and it jumped a 1/4 in. with no problem. Set the point gap. I'd like to set the timing but can't figure out how to get a view of the crankshaft pully. The only way I can think of is from underneath. but getting the lift up isn't an option I have.

Anyhow, I had someone turn the engine over while I moved the dist. around and still nothing.

Even with the timing being off I would still expect some attempt to fire.

Any ideas?
