HI guys

I have'nt had to muck around with distributers for a few years now so forgive me for a asking for a possibly simple solution. I've had to replace the TFI module on my EB and noticed during this process that the distributor rotor was 180 deg out from what I would have expected. Anyway, on consulting my trusty Gregories, I set the engine to TDC and re-installed the distributor. Unfortunaetly the engine does not fire now. I have confirmed that there is spark and that the fuel is flowing. I'm fairly sure that the rotor is out by 180 deg but was wandering if any of you car wizzards are able to explain how I would find out if it was configured correctley.

Many thanks in advance.

just spin your motor around again and line the mark up to TDC again pull out the dizzy and line it up to number 1 again. Should work.
