RE: starting/ timing problem
the gear on the cam turns the gear on the bottom of the shaft of the distributor. so what you're describing is confusing. i get the idea you're not too experience at working on your 'stang. if you've turned the engine over with the dist. out you have to retime it again with cyl #1 at tdc on compression stroke

RE: starting/ timing problem
i have had 2 times now when i either kill my car or i turn it off that it wont start up. the key to that is the TPS i believe i just gave the gas pedal 1 pump and she started right up. mind you i have an EFI car.
