What kind of carb? You replaced the timing chain? Did you have the distributor out?

carb isnt prob didnt touch it or flip it just removed and layed aside,did remove distributor,but pretty sure i put it in right,timing light flashed close to 11 degrees on timing tab,and i made sure to line the rotor and the num 1 spark plug connector up on cap and when i was rotating car to tdc,i checked that both rockers on no.1 cyl were loose to confirm tdc any ideas

so to get it back to compression stroke can i gett it at tdc on exhaust stroke,then pull dist. out spin crank full 360 untill timing mark lines up again(will it be on tdc compression stroke?),and drop dist in ,then gett it timed.also whats the factory timing for a 91 305
