Help!!! won't start....Mechanic please!

Usually if it's 180* off, it will backfire or sputter.
To turn it, simply loosen the distributor, raise it up slightly, and turn the rotor 180*.....
It may not be 180* out, it may just need the housing rotated a little one direction or the other. Pull the # 1 plug and make sure it's on the compression stroke before going any further. And make sure you're getting fuel.
