Distributor timing... help!
#5
it is timed wrong. its so very easy to do wrong.
and finding True TDC #1 firing, tops the list. DO this first must, or all else is wasted.
(same with cam timing if wrong the spark timing is hopeless (at end chain it is) Cam timing is 1st first. LOL

this can be done lots of way. ( TDC happens 2 time, firing and exhaust, only firing is correct)
1- make lash loose on #1 is TDC 0, firing?
2- or max compression, at 0 degrees #1 (or the blow test)
DO take out all spark plugs, so the compression dont fight you, i see your other post...sorry.

way 3- is to set crank at TDC 0 the make sure the cam cog, MARK is 6pm, down. note, if the cam gear mark is at 12pm that is #4 firing, that is wrong.
then drop the dizzy, so the rotor aligns with your #1 spark wire. (repeat to anticipate spiral gear effect)
it will start , then set timing with the light.

id bet your cam cover is not off. so...
cam cover off way
valve cover off way
or if not, blow test games. (use compression tester gauge,or blow into the spark 1 hole (hose to lips), if cant blow that is FIRING.
ill not do the toilet paper trick, sorry.

timing hell 101:
rotor on wrong.
dizzy bottom gear on backwards
crank pulley mark, 0 is NOT zero any more. (the rubber bond is/was broken and now slipped)
cam not timed.
