So very stuck...
God this thread is a ******* train wreck.
OP:
Step ONE: Stop ******* with multiple things. No offense, you have no clue what's going on here. One thing, and ONE THING ONLY until you know it's 'right'.
Step TWO: Pull the driver's side valve cover. Roll the motor over BY HAND until #1 rocker arms (See pic below) are both "UP" at the valves (The things with coil springs on them). As you roll the motor over, you'll see one go down, then the other, then they're both 'up' for awhile. When the TDC (ZERO) mark on your damper is at ZERO on the timing cover while the rocker arms are both 'up', then you're a Top Dead Center. If you turn the crank a quarter turn and a rocker starts moving, that is NOT top dead center, and you need to go one more turn to be there. If you turned it quarter turn and nothing moved, finished turning it TWO turns (Stop at zero on the second turn) to get it back to top dead center.
Step Three, the rotor should be lined up pointing to the post for #1 on the distributor as shown below. It doesn't really matter where the distributor is turned to, as much as plug wire for that post goes to the cylinder you're watching the rocker arms on. In other words, #1 might be in a different spot than whats shown in the picture. If you're not sure, stop, give us a picture. Telling you to clock a distributor gear at this point is like giving a loaded gun to a toddler.
Step four: Look at the picture, ONE BY ONE, follow each wire to make sure it connects to the correct cylinder. #1 goes to #1, #8 goes to #8, and so on.
Once that's done, DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING, and get back to us.
I know y'all are trying to help this person, but JFC leave all the extraneous **** out for now. This person needs to find out where they're at before you can tell them where to go.
