Only theory i could offer is that someone has changed the belt in the dim and distant past and messed it up. Theyve ythen compensated by fitting dizzy
in a strange orientation. Youve then fitted loads of new bits etc which has upset the dodgy previous timing = no start.
Theory doesnt stand up to fierce criticism tho'! Ive been told the can jump a tooth if the tensioner isnt set right, 4 sounds well strange.
Well done. Lessons learnt - dont trust anyone else - check the basics first. (Applies to new parts as well, they can be faulty).

Had it tuned today, purring like a kitten, I think replacing the entire ignition system wasn't a waste after all.
It's the first time I've run a pinto that doesn't rattle!
Well chuffed
Cheers

if it helps, we once tried to start one with the cam 180 degrees out. didn't spot the mark on the head, so set the arrow to the top! d'oh.

What i actuallysaid was that I hadn't taken the belt cover off and without x-ray vision you can't see the camshaft timing mark.
I'm going to smack your legs.
cheers
