siksyndicate is an unknown quantity at this point
when I had problems starting mine after a fresh rebuild, the oil pump drive gear was off by 1 tooth and it prevented the motor from turning over....you may think you having the timing correct but set the motor at TDC on the compression stroke.. take the cap off to look at the rotor...it should be at the #1 spark plug location... if not, you will need to pull the dizzy, remove the oil pump and drive gear and reinsert it correctly, there are two dots, one on the oil pump and one on the drive gear that need to line up before insertion. if your car WAS running and you messed with the dizzy, this could be the prob.....
