setting timming right?
ok the car is a v6 first off. but anyways what i am doing is this.
1. setting the timming mark on the balancer at 10*
2. putting the distributor so that the rotor points to #1
still wont fire, got good spark and fuel.
3. set the timming mark back to 10*
4. flip the distributor to #4 piston.
this is the way ive always done it and its always worked, but now when i do this you need to twist the distributor alot like 1/2 turn and all it does is back fire? any ideas what to do next?

Re: setting timming right?
Even if you want that 10deg advance you still drop the dissy in at 0deg TDC with #1 pointed at #1 cylinder. To make sure you are at TDC you can take the valve cover off and crank the motor untill you get close to 0 and watch if your #1 valves start moving if they dont its #1 tdc if not its 180 out go around to 0 again. Then you can set that 10deg.
