He said cam at 6 O'clock & crank at 12 O'clock....Dot to Dot?????
With both dots at 12 O'clock....The engine is still in time, And is TDC for #1 cylinder, Dots together is TDC for #6 cylinder.
slugish, Stock HEI's have a Pink 10 gauge wire with a white terminal on the end, This goes to the batt terminal. The coil cover is labeled TACH & BATT.
I recommend a Spark Tester to check spark, Though there are more adventurous ways
If the valves are to tight the valves will hang open...If you bottomed out unprimed lifters then a 1/2, 3/4 ,full turn "preload" The valves will not close = No compression, Or bent valves...Rare on stock engines.
