Amervo squared me away on this last year using the infamously simple "wine-cork-in-#1plug-hole" trick. Only takes a few seconds to confirm, and does not require an assistant.
Thanks everyone!
Since I don't usually have anyone around to help I thought this ""wine-cork-in-#1plug-hole" trick"" might work for me...however I really don't drink so I don't have a cork either DOH!. I used a capped off piece of tubing that seemed to thread into the spark plug hole pretty tight I figured it was worth a try. I bumped the starter a few times then POP! the tube shot out and smacked the fender skirt. I looked into the hole and I can see the piston top. I turned the Harmonic balancer just a tad to hit zero. pulled off the cap and it's pointing right at cyl #1.
I'm going to recheck all my vac. lines and inside the dist. perhaps I used the wrong rotor bushing. (Cap came with two I thought I put in the stock type)
Thanks again y'all! I have to go watch my daughter sing in a school concert now. I will mess with my bird when I get home.
