Question regarding T.D.C.

[RWilliams]

Following up on the suggestions I received, I was finally able to get fire to the plugs. My wife was cranking the engine while I checked for spark. I was getting spark at the plugs, but the engine still would not crank.

I'm getting gas to the carbuerator, so not sure why it won't crank. I attached an image of the coil wiring, just as it was before I took everything apart about 1 1/2 years ago.


While we were " cranking " on it, the ignition switch locked up, so I'm down for a few days until I get a replacement.

I wanted to post these images to see if anyone detected anything that looked wrong!

Thanks for any feedback.

with the #1 plug out have someone crank the motor while your finger is over the plug hole. Have a plug in the #1 wire and see if that plug sparks when your finger is popped off the plug hole which would be the compression stroke.
