HELP!!(lining dizzy up)

[brianm at earendel.org (Brian McGarvey)]

Just incase nobody noticed.
he sais that the turning the crank did NOT turn the dizzy rotor.

Carlos if that is the case You didnt get the slot in the cams lined up 
with the key in the distributor (aka dizzy). If you have th cover off and 
turn the crank the rotor is supposed to turn.

Line it up with(top dead center) TDC. If you disconnected the timing belt 
follow the bently procedure. then loosen the dizzy, so it wiggles around 
alot but doesnt fall out(or the bolts you may have to remove the bolts, 
I dont remember). then GENTLY grab the rotor and 
turn it until the metal part of the rotor tip lines up approximately with 
the line on the outside edge of the edge where the cap mates with the 
dizzy. you'll feel it pop in and not move much after that. for 6d btdc 
where it is supposed to sit the rotor should be centered with that mark

see
http://www.squirrelpf.com/msavr/index.php?page=GrmIgnition
there is a cartoon there of the internals. 

Then follow what everybody else says about the CCW 1-3-4-2 I always get 
that confused too.

Try that.
