Rebuilt 318 Refuses to Start

just because you installed the timing chain with the cam at 6 o'clock and the crank at 12 clock does not mean the chain is 180 out. You are at number 6 firing...not number 1.....If you put the distributor in at that point the distributor is 180 out...pull the distributor and rotate it 180...

If you enlarge this picture you can see the cam sprocket at 6 oclock...you wont be able to see crank sprocket dot...
