Can you show or tell me the position point the distributor sits? I cannot get it to start.

The distributor should point at about 11:30 or to the #1 cylinder which is on the drivers side front. if it is in correctly scan for codes and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts can scan and rents gauge.

Hi Barbara.

Here is a link to an article that features written step by step instructions and pictures explaining how to do the scan yourself, also I have included a link to our YouTube channel with a how to video on code scanning. Most scanners are inexpensive to purchase, you can purchase one online from sites like Amazon.com. Once you have the codes please get back to us so that we can further assist you. We are always happy to help.
