Switched fuel lines and dropped in the disty so it points at #1 and it starts and runs and is timeable. Thanks for the help.
The thing that confuses me is that Subaru and any other book I've found says to install the disty with points on the disty shaft lined up (don't have a picture to link to sorry) and it always leaves the rotor pointing ATDC, about 15 degrees or so probably. Even on my friends '92, where the disty has never been removed, and so it's very easy to tell if it's back in the same place...following procedure puts it ATDC, off the original marks, and it runs poorly. Install it a tooth off and it's back where the factory put it and runs as it should. I'm not a by the book sorta guy...the right results are the right results no matter how you get there. I dunno, it just irks me I guess.
Thanks again.
