Replaced head gasket and all transmission. Timing was perfect last night. Radiator antifreeze was not connected. It cranked fine and idles fine.
Put the radiator on and filled with antifreeze now it will turn not over and nor start. Help.

And with this diagram should the distributor be at one or four?

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros. Com.

With the timing at top dead center (as indicated on the picture) the distributor should be point towards the number one spark plug wire.

As far as the issue with it not turning over, if it ran before the radiator, chances are it is something simple. Recheck battery terminals, make sure the ground is clean and tight on the engine block, and all wires are in good condition.

Do that and let me know what you find.

Cheers,
Joe
