DID YOU MARK ORIGINAL LOCATION?

PUT IT BACK, TO MARK AND STILL WILL NOT START?

WHY DID YOU THINK IT NEEDED TO BE TIMED?

DID YOU GO THRU THE PROPER STEPS TO SET TIMING?

THIS IS NOT YOUR VEHICLE, BUT A PROCEDURE IS A PROCEDURE. DO YOU HAVE PROPER TUNING TOOLS AND REFERENCES?

FOR INSTANCE,

ON ONE OF MY JEEPS, IDLE SPEED MUST BE 700 RPM, REMOVE AND PLUG VACUUM ADVANCE, THEN DO THE PROCEDURE.8 DEGREES BTDC, THEN RECONNECT VACUUM ADVANCE. IT STARTS WITH ABOUT ONE REVOLUTION W/ STARTER OR ROLL STARTING.

MY OTHER JEEP HAS NO VACUUM ADVANCE, IDLE SPEED MUST BE 600 RPM. SET TO 5 DEGREES BTDC. IT EZily STARTS USING THE STARTER AND ROLL STARTING. MY DAUGHTER CAN "HAND CRANK" HIM WITH ABOUT A 1/4 TO 1/2 OF A REVOLUTION.
