Well I got the motor to turn over but it sounds like ASS! The best way to describe is, a ****ed up lawnmower that you keep pulling on to try to start up and dies on you and its 10x louder. the car is making a loud poping noise, it is backfiring, it will not hold idle, and It will revup and die. It sounds real aweful. It would jump to like 3k rpm and dies. I think its the distributor, I think Im stapping it wrong. I stabbed the distributor like 20 times... same result. I put number 1 at TDC on the compression stroke and put the distributor in with the rotor pointing twoard number 1 on the cap. If I advanced or retarded the timing it would not do anything. I have checked the vacum lines and the firing order. It has a new starter, cap, rotor, distributor, coil, plugs and wires. Why wont it idle?
