Still no start, it's still backfiring.
OK, I found TDC #1 with the stiff wire, popped off the dist cap, and the rotor is pointing BETWEEN #1 and #3 cap contact.
Then I should loosen the dist clamp (clawfoot), and turn the dist until the rotor points directly at the #1 contact ?
Or should I leave it alone and get someone more familiar with it than me.
