i got everything back together and the only reason im dealing with timing cuz i was paining everything sounded like good idea cuz ive done this b4 when first got truck was i peces so figured no big deal top dead center compression stroke button pointed at #er one all thst but when i go to start it turns couple seconds and wihout me letting go of the key stops if i let key go back where it naturally sits and turn again it turns the starter and motor couple secs again and stops i even thought well maybe i didnt have it on compression stroke so i turned the dist 180° same outcome if somebody can point out the error in my ways please do lol
