Well let me tell you about todays HEi adventure.........When i had her back firing i thought it was 180 off so i got the thing to TDC and then i fliped her around. I puled out the plug and got a friend to crank it. No spark.......I had the edge of it on the head so it could have a negative. I stuck the tester in the wire plug and cranked it and nothing agian. ????

If you can find one, get the plastic top that pops over the plugs to tell you which wire goes to each cylinder. Sometimes, you will encounter the problem your having just by having two wires switched out of order. Recheck the wires and top dead center on the dizzy and try again.

If your balancer and tmming tab are correct the 0 should line up. Also take out your #1 plug and hold you finger over the sparkplug hole when there is pressure comming out and the tab and balancer line up you should be at TDC for #1.

Make sure the wiring on the cap is right.
On a stock point cap the #1 is not in the same spot as the HEI, and I've seen several people try to do it.

#1 can be anywhere on the cap as long as the #1 wire goes to it when the #1 cylinder is at tdc.
