318 msd 6al, msd blaster ss coil, msd distributor not working

slidey06 said
The msd rotor at TDC on the compression stroke on piston 1 will either point toward the back passenger side or front drivers side. I have it facing forward toward the driver side . The coil is brand new and worked before playing with the mechanical advance yesterday

The distributor can go in 180 degrees out. Check that next.

And the shaft and the rotor don't always line up. So you have to look at the rotor relative to the drive tang and use that to line up oil pump drive.
