Re: No Start Problem. I may be at the root cause BUT! Distributor (Rotor alignment question) 200 1979

posted by  someone claiming to be Winston on  Sun Jul 8 10:21 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Richard, If the car was running OK and then it just won’t start and the rotor is not lined up correctly. Maybe the timing belt is broke or jumped a few teeth. If the timing belt is OK. Get # 1 cylinder at TDC on it’s compression stroke, now loosen the distributor bolt and turn distributor on till rotor is pointing to the #1 plug wire in the distributor cap, This will be close for the engine to start if all else or OK. Good luck
