  Yes David;

   1. Line up your flywheel v-cut (inside inspection hole- unscrew plastic plug) with pointer inside transaxle

   2. Dot on driver's side of cam sprocket should line up with top of valve cover (if not loosen belt tensioner and adjust.) 

  3. Pull off distributor cap and make sure the rotor lines up with the notch on rim of of distributor (if the first two line up, but the dizzy doesn't, I find it easier to just pull the dizzy and readjust rather than loosening the belt.) 

  As far as the dots and notches on the passenger side are concerned, you can never trust the intermediate shaft pulley to be in the right place.  It might be, but PO could have removed the dizzy previously and moved it just enough to screw you. 

  Check your belt tension too; maybe it jumped a tooth or two.

  Good luck,

    Ok here's where I am.  I've checked fuel getting plenty, so it's some place with spark and timing 

    I've replaced: plugs and coil
    tested hall sensor and ICU.  I'm getting signal from hall.
    I also tested compression 3 of 4 tested around 125psi. Other one was alittle low(90psi) but that shouldn't cause a complete no start. 

    PO stated he had it running after sitting for along time.  He reset the timing marks on the cam and water pump pulley's.  Then put new plug wires and distributor cap on.  He set the dizzy and got it to run for about a day then it quit and wouldn't start again. 

    I'm pretty convinced that the dizzy timing is FUBAR'd.

    It turns over, but doesn't even appear to fire at all.  I've pulled the plugs and they show spark.  Looks weak to me, but I'm used to looking at HEI so it's probably fine especially with the new coil. 

    My questions are this:
    1. Is there a quick and easy to set the dizzy timing?
    2. Is there any other things I should check?

    I'm planning on checking the signal all the way thru the hall thru the digi, icu, and to the coil, but I'm pretty sure that's not it. 


    Thanks
    David
