Always start timing by pulling the #1 plug on a Mopar and stuffing a rag in the hole - turn over until it pops out - look at the degree marks on the dampner and alignment pointer should be close to TDC - then look to be sure the rotor on the dist is pointing to # 1 - spark - fuel - compression and fire it up. Rings could be "closed" making no compression but there's a little fix for that....
