I left the timing alone. I replaced the cap and rotor and went for a drive. It ran like it always has. I got home, pulled the cap, replaced the condenser and the points and now it turns over but won't start at all.
I wish I could find some decent instructions. I don't get it.
If everything worked before you changed the points/condensor, then I would bet my dollar on your problem lying therein.
First check for 12 volts running to the low-tension side of your distributor. This will be the wire that you connected up to your points.
Then, make sure you have no bare wires touching the body of the distributor, and that your 12V+ side of your points are not grounding out via the points plate.
Take off the distributor cap, and crank the engine, or have someone crank the engine. Do you see the points snapping with electricity?
If you can't see the points while you are cranking from inside the car, you can always leave the key in the 'ON' position, loosen the distributor clamping bolt, and rock the distributor back and forth on a lobe, to actuate the points. The result will be the same if they are working: a snap of electricity.
