I'm doing this by ear...Is it possible its dumping too much gas for the plugs not to keep up due to the off timing? It's possible that it's 180 deg. upside down. How can I tell when it's on the exhaust cycle or compression cycle?

 

I pull the #1 plug and hold my finger over the spark plug hole while I bump the starter. Having a remote starter switch helps, but a friend can bump the starter while you have your finger over the hole. Just bump it very quickly so as not to spin the engine over too fast.

Before you do this, you will want to pull the coil wire to the distributor so the engine cannot start.

 

I'm gonna try re timing this beast tomorrow. My friend is bringing the ECM and Injector drivers from his S-10 pickup too. It's just with the unusual amounts of gas being poured into the TB is a bit weird. Possibly the fuel pump relay?

I'm running out of options...

EDIT - Also, When finding TDC, When I'm trying to align the marks on the crank pulley, the timing degree indicator is kind of old and I'm having trouble reading it...There are three triangles of sorts down there. Is the 0 degree mark on the left, middle, or right?

 

On my truck the 0 is to the right. The balancer has two key slots or "grooves" for timing. They should be at about 1 o'clock and 4 o'clock position with the 1 o'clock at the 0 mark on the timing gauge. Hope this helps.
