thanks anyways thoe

[MURPHY]

wow... you really should re read that.

you pull the cap to check the rotor button position

More likely your timing is now off. Did you set the timing to TDC before removal and/or made a mark on how the gear lined up when you pulled the original distrbutor?

[JRwerks]

Yes i maked on the distributor and the block exactly where it lines up

[JRwerks]

how would i set it back to TDC again?
