FYI. After one of the last messages saying if you put fuel into the intake
and the motor didn’t start then you have a timing issue. I started to pull
timing cover and checking alignment. Then checked over the distributor and
rotor and noticed that somehow the rotor spun over the locking bolt. It
seems that somehow the rotor got jammed and stopped rotating. After
removing the entire distributor housing ( 3 bolts) I notice that the shaft
that holds the rotor could wobble about ¼” and the bushings were shot. My
buddy spent about $200. on a refurbished unit. After installing the new
distributor the car started right up. Only thing needed now is borrow a
timing gun to check my installation. Thanks to all that replied. Thanks
for the help and ideals on what to check.
