1-5-3-6-2-4 clockwise. Yeah, i triple checked all of that. Something is obviously wrong, its kinda frustrating that I haven't been able to figure it out yet.:icon_sad:

Yeah, I don't have it connected to the filter yet. I didn't think it would effect the starting of the car.
I see. Well, that's gonna be a tough one to figure out. I'll let someone with more experience address it

Alright, thanks for the input. :icon_bigg
You're welcome. Fwiw I think your frustration is near an end. Something tells me you're going to prefer it over what's coming though...

Ok whats the history on the car?
Has it been rebuilt, head gasket replaced?
You're trying to start it now, so has it recently stopped working or did you buy it broke?

ok just a guess....my distributor didn't really have a mark...so do a test for me....
Put it back in top dead center
Then pull out the distributor(That was set to the mark)
Turn it 180(1/2 of a complete turn) Degrees from the mark you have. stick it back in and try.
If that doesn't work then try 90(1/4 of a complete turn) Degrees from your mark...
if not the 270(3/4 of a complete turn) degrees from your mark
Let me know your results...my distributor kinda had a mark but i just had to play with it until it worked....

Lmao. AJ, you're a weak man
A GTE will but on a GE the AFM fuel pump switch alone would prevent it...

Actually i do, but I'm near-sighted;]
But seriously, there was not mark on my distributor....just a hole in the pillar of the distributor that goes into the engine. So i'm just guessing...everything else has been done to his car and my car did it when it was 180 out time...so it's worth a shot no?:naughty:

Sounds good guys. I tried starting it up again this morning and it didn't back fire or anything of that sort at all. So thats a plus. I will try and figure out why its not turning over though and get back to you guys if I need any further assistance. I appreciate it. Youre a gentleman and a scholar! ::salute::
Yep, what we have going on here is a forest for the trees thing. Or maybe it's worse than that. Maybe it's a Scarecrow thing. You know: Dorothy, Kansas, Toto...
BlackDy, lemme help you out here. The guy may indeed have other problems. At this point we really don't know. What we do know (some of us at least) is it appears he's trying to run the engine with the TB open to the outside world. That means no air is getting sucked through the AFM. No air means no load signal to the ECU and no vane movement to close the fuel pump switch.

OH well i know that about the fuel pump......
Though i guess i just assumed he had the intake hooked up and it was backfiring in the intake....then when he went to investigate white smoke came out....i'll just keep shush:sarcasm:
