I removed the distributor when i was working on my exhuast manifold and now it won't crank over. I set the timing on the crank pulley and distributor before i put it back in but still nothing. I need to get it started soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

did you line up the mark on the distributor housing with the shaft pin or the mark on the shaft. the mark on the shaft is a little dot. if you lined it up with the dot then it is off you need to line it up with the shaft pin.
