[Roadsters] It won't start....

 Eddie,
Until the cavalry shows.....
1Yes large mark all the way to the left as you face the pulley 2 My car has a pointer on it not sure how that corresponds 3 rotor should be pointing to wire that goes to #1 spark plug 4 I don't have points sorry. If you left the key on they can byrn, from what I remember.
Your coil and condenser should be new. Be sure your cap wires are correct? for firing order. Also if dizzy is installed 180 deg out your #1 wire at cap will be different.
Good luck
Linda

Ok, so it's wired up, the starter turns, fuel is at the carbs, I have 
spark at the distributor, but the car won't start. ?

I've got a couple of questions that the darn manual isn't clear about.?
?

My car is a 1966, the motor is an H20 1600. ?

1) Is TDC the large mark on the pulley?  (When viewed from the front, 
with the pulley set with the marks on top, the other marks would be to 
the right of the largest mark.)?
?

2) Is the "pointer" the line that's part of the timing chain cover? ?

3) When the car is set at TDC, should the rotor be pointed at the #1 
cylinder??
?

4) At that position, should the points be open??
?

Thanks guys.  This is driving me NUTS.  I'm literally steps away from 
getting the car to go to Solvang, but at this pace it may not happen...?
?

Eddie?
