Neal...line up the damper mark and the "0" mark on
the timing tab. Check and see where the rotor is pointing. You will either be
bang-on #1 cylinder TDC firing stroke, OR, 180* out, which will be #6 cylinder
TDC firing stroke. At one of those settings, it should start and run...you may
have to advance the dizzy slightly to get it to run WELL!

Subject: fire in the hole!!
The barracuda finally ran today under its own power for a few minutes.
Definitely has some bugs to work out. I finally just gave up on that mallory
unit i was trying to use and stuck in an old circa 1970 points setup.
Fired right up... kind of. I put the timing light on it and cant even see the
timing mark on balancer, mark must be waaay out of range. I know the
balancer itself has not slipped, I checked that this fall with a TDC stop. It
was dead on. Next thought was distributor set in 180 off. Absolutely
sure it is in correctly as I just did it an hour before fire up. I bumped the
motor with a remote starter and the finger in the hole method. Sure felt like
it was on compression stroke. Plug wires are all hooked up in correct order.
It is backfiring out the pipes, not thru carb. Any help will be greatly
appreciated
