Hole for tmming pin is oval. Dist was rebuilt also carb. Number one piston is all the way up when pin goes into hole. With total retard the rotors trailing edge is near the post.

The engine try's to run backwards not the car.. Was a good running a until I worked on it. Timing pointer hits detent. Same place every time. Rotor is almost past number one post. If I rotate rotor ccw the cam opens the point instead of just starting to open at Tdc.thanks for the help

Good solid engine. Have rebuilt carb as float was flooded.all new parts in dist. Timed it several different ways. Cam looks good and points and cond are new. New gas And filter. A was always a good runner. Cant completely retard as slot in dist is too narrow. I am baffled.

Dist timed dozens of times. A won't start then runs backwards for 10/20 seconds and belches white smoke and gas out the carb air intake ?. Please help and thank you
