Re: VIN & Block Numbers
It could run if the distributor was a tooth off.
Pop the cap off and put a socket on the bolt that holds the damper and pulleys on the crank and turn the crank counter clockwise and then clockwise and see how far the crank moves before the rotor turns. If the chain is sloppy or the plastic (if still original) gear is bad it may either be off timing or have jumped time.
