when you feel it you will be close...just go check the balancer...see if its close to 0*....if it is...turn the motor over till its lined up right with 0*....then check the rotor position.....17yrOldStanger said:

Yes just put it at 0* now. Do the thing I "tried" to explain in the first post. Remove the cap of the sparkplug wires, check if the rotor is pointing at the #1 sparkplug.(where the #1 is printed on top in the plastic of your cap)

yup, just like stangfreak said...you want the rotor to be pointed at the #1 spark plug terminal when the balancer is at zero....if its not...pull the dizzy and keep pulling it out and stabbing it until it is.... once it is....start her up and check the timing for real....set it...button it all back up and your golden...ur almost there...dont lose it yet.

well, i felt the air and when it stopped, it was at the 10 mark. so i put it on the 0. i opened up the distributor cap and the rotor exactly pointing at the 1, but its kinda close. does it need to be dead on?

no it doesnt need to be dead on right now....it should run now....if it starts go through the regular timing procedure and see where its at.....set it to 10* or whatever you want...and your golden...

it appears that this round goes to the Stang. Little bitch doesnt wanna act right. Im done for the night. I just grabbed a cold one...of Pepsi... and cooked some mac and cheese. My spirits are by no way diminished. This gal cant beat me. thanks for the help everyone. i really appreciate it all 
First off, is it at all possible that your C&L isn't calibrated for the 24lb injectors?
Second thing. Even though you say you felt the air coming out i've seen some motors that can be very tricky when it comes to feeling the actual compression especially when you never tried that before. So it may be possible that even though everything is lining up that the distributor is 180 degrees out. Which means that you'd need to point it in the exact opposite (180 degrees) direction it is pointing at now.

good luck and let us know what the final outcome was. i think its good that you decided to try and do the troubleshooting yourself.

To make sure you're at TDC do this also. First do the whole "feel the air "thing. Put it at 0*. Then SLOWLY and CAREFULLY stick like a small screwdriver in your spark plug #1 whole. If it goes really far, you're not at TopDeadCenter. If it hits something fairly close in the whole, you're at TDC. You just hit your piston. Maybe you wanna take another spark plug out, and compare the different "holes", you'll see they're different. This is just to CONFIRM the "feel the air" trick.
