RE: That, too. By olddustyrelics - 03/30/2004 9:13:15 AM; IP 68.252.35.253 We had the same problem (not being mechanics and all) but the original engine came with a dist cap that had the #1 scratched into the cap instead of cast into it. So we bought a new cap that had the #1 cast into the plastic. After installing that we noticed that the rotor would point to the spark plug wire just in front of the one marked #1 at TDC on the new cap. That was our first clue. So we removed the dist and in doing so discovered we could remove it with NO TOOLS!! That's when we knew we were on to something. After resetting the dist to TDC #1 on the cap and rewiring it, it started.

This thread, so far...
