  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
