Hi
To go back to my original post, the flywheel/crank makes 2 turns for every 1 turn of the distributor. When the flywheel is at TDC either Cylinder 1 is firing OR Cylinder 4.
You MUST use extra information to tell which is which, the flywheel mark alone is NOT enough. This extra information would be the position of the valves or the compression felt in Cylinder 1.
Until you are certain that Cyl 1 is at TDC on its firing stroke, all other measures will be fruitless
Reversing the sequence of the plug leads and turning the distributor may get the engine running on 2 cylinders, but I'm sure that's not what you want !
