At top dead center the cam #1 and #2 lobes should be pointing at 10:00 and 2:00
when looking from the front. If they are 11:00 and 3:00 then you know you are
off a little. Beware of crank pulleys that the outer ring has slipped from the
inner ring. I've had a couple where the timing mark was not right because the
outer ring slipped. You can take out the #1 plug and put a screwdriver or
other long poker in the hole and resting on top of the piston. Crank it over
by hand and feel the screwdriver to see where it tops out. You should also
verify the spark plugs wires are hooked up in the correct order. I chased a
non-starter for a while until I figured out that the distributor was out by 180
degrees and two of the wires were swapped.
