I honestly cannot figure this out. It has me baffled. I drive my car to the coffee shop. I go back out to it an hour later and she won't start. She cranks, she's got spark, fuel, the timing is exactly at 10*. Its a complete mystery to me. Sometimes when she's turning over i'll get a few exhaust notes from 2 or 3 cylinders, but not enough to start. Can someone help me out here? Am i missing something?

I was having the same problem a few days ago I ended up having to replace my distributor. there was a piece broke down in the cap and it was moving around and causing my timing to advance way off. I hope this helps
