(happened when i first got my 240 a year and a half ago and i changed my timing chain) it took me forever to get it to run right because i was guessing at it. i picked up a timing light and within 5 minutes i had it running right, as she still is to this day.
Sorry, Im just really pissed off right now.

Aghhhh, i believe you. its just insane that even though you can eye it up, a timing light is still needed. My friend was cranking the car while i was sliding the distributor back and forth and it still didn't want to start
