Hello, Sorry to hear about your issue. When you set the distributor was cylinder #1 TDC on the compression stroke?

the distributor went in all the way. I finished the project and put everything back on, which was no picnic, ending with replacing the [spark plugs](/topics-spark-plug-chevy/) too. When I took off the distributor cap the cap was pointing towards the back. IS this right?

Which engine do you have?

original 350 L48the rotor cap is facing the back, should the rotor cap be facing 1 every time you go to start?

It should be right before the #1 plug on the cap. No it should not be on 1 every time you go to start.

the carb was rebuilt at National Carb and they say they tested it out before sending it back and I should not have to make any adjustments.

You are correct. Can you try starting fluid t see if that does anything.

dont have any

Could you get some?

it would mean I have to go out and disconnectI have carb cleaner stuff like gumout

That would be fine, Just respond here once you are back.

Hi Keiphun, I just spent two months on this project and at this point I will have to stop and get this in hands of someone local that can get this corrected. Many thanks.

No problem. It’s always a pleasure to try and help. Thank you.
