I did the compression test to get 1 on tdc and took off cap.Rotor seemed to be lined up with my old mark and at this setting it wil start but makes a bad tapping noise. I moved distributor back one gear and forward one gear and it justs cranks with little or no spark on both positions.Moving it forward and backward moves the rotor about an 1 inch.Is that about right or could I be missing a gear in between.Ypu said it could be 180 off.Is this still possible even though it will start. Thanks Dan
