Title says it... I’m no mechanical genius, please ignore some ignorance here trying to explain it.
Motor sat up several years, I decided to try my luck at it. P.O. had plug wire order set on distributor,I copied it when I replaced wires and plugs. Wire order follows firing order. It fired up after a few tries, but idles real rough. I played with advancing/ retarding distributor, no change in idle. I checked #1 cylinder TDC on compression, and rotor is falling between #1 & #5 wire on cap. I change all wires over one space counter CW, again play with advance/retard it and get a lil sputter but no crank.
Am I missing something here, or should I look into timing/timing chain next?
