Engine (which was never running)is rebuilt and back in car. Replaced distributor but cant get engine to start, pop, or backfire. Lined up timing mark on front pulley with what I thought(holding my thumb over spark plug hole) was top dead center on #1 piston. Lined up rotor with wire coming from distributor has #1, then completed the firing order #8 next, etc. No luck.  I did a 180 degree change, and changed all wires accordingly and still no luck.  How do I get the distributor in the correct place?  Thanks in advance.  Joe
