Rich, that was exactly it. Aligned the timing mark and took the valve cover off. Made sure that both valves were closed. They were....Took the dizzy cap off and???? Finger was pointing at cylinder #6. Took it out, rotated it 180 degrees and put it back in. Put valve cover back on and crossed my fingers. Started right up after a few seconds. Ran a little ruff but had to rev. it up to about 2000 RPM to break in the cam in (for ~20 min.). Need to do some fine tuning but I think I got it solved thanks to your help. It's my 17 year old daughter's first car and she is very happy now. Thanks again. Really appreciate it.
