I was trying to adjust the timing on my car and was having trouble getting the timing mark to come around(vaccum advanced unplugged). I could see the mark but it was all the way under the water pump. Next I pulled the cap and found what looked to me as the rotor being off at least one tooth. I didnt even know it would run like that. So I have run new wires and installed new plugs and set the timing to point @ number one. No start just a few puffs. Turn the dist both directions and finally get it to start but wont run for crap. No misses just no throddle response and wont idle. Is it possible it will run at 180 out of timing? Other wise do you think it is possible that the problem mgith be bigger than that. The guy before me seemed to be a real peice of work
. Just trying to figure out why it looked as if it was of a tooth but ran ok and now wont run at all.
