I f*in hate this car.

Very good advice here from MeMike the straw will be the safest way so as to not damage the engine...teach a man the basics so he can troubleshoot rather than throwing money at the problem, I will agree that the pertronix system is a good way to go if he is running a points type distributor, but whatever system he is running now can be diagnosed and repaired properly for a fraction of the cost...Way to go MeMike :cheers:
I pull the #1 plug out and put my finger on the plug hole until you feel the compression stroke starting, then I use a straw not a screw driver and turn the engine by hand till you see the straw stop rising, This is top dead center in your power stroke, remember there is an exhaust stroke that comes to the top, that is not the stroke you want on these 4 stroke engines..

I agree with 805moparkid 100%, But he said he has 0 cash 805moparkid.
