OK. Here's what happened. When I rotated the engine over at the first of the week until I felt the pressure on the number one cylinder I had rotated the rotor button 180 degrees. Per suggestions I then moved the plug wires on the cap and then the truck cranked right up. At the time I was thinking since I rotated the rotor 180 that I moved the flywheel 180 which would put the timing marks over on the drivers side of the truck. I was thinking about this at work today and remembered that the flywheel would have actually turned 360 which would put the timing marks right back where they should be. You know when you are walking along and trip over your own feet and you look around hoping no one was looking.....well I was hoping not too many people read my post as I see now it didn't make any sense, I just had to move the motor a little and the timing marks showed. It was close. Got the timing light out and fine tuned it. Hopefully I am not as dumb as this post probably made me look. I have three other older vehicles that I have kept up for years. Just have not had to do anything like this in a very long time. I still have a long way to go but now I can start putting the body back together. Thanks again for every ones help. It's great having access to you guys that know so much about these old trucks.
