Check your rotor/cap? Mine was flipped 180 degrees, wouldn't start but I still got spark.

Get your #1 cyl at TDC, make sure your crankpully + cam gears line up. Easiest way I find is to take the plug out and stick something long down into the cyl and crank the engine around by hand. When whatever you stick in the cyl is the highest out, that's TDC.

Then, pull the cap off your distributor and make sure the rotor is pointing towards the right plug wire.

pointing towards the right plug wire? which plug wire? am i looking at where the rotor is pointing based off of the cap like #1 plug spot for the cap... eh?
