So I have redone the timing on my 88 subaru gl-10 like 10 time thinking I have done something wrong I followed miles fox tutorial to the T and when I try to start it it turns over for a few seconds then to almost a dead stop then turns over again I did not pull the distributor out and it seems to line up after the whole timing procedure I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong and mind you I just changed head gaskets and seals so any ideas?

you say you just done head gaskets ...has it run since then? If you have not pulled dist to do that head gasket job, when you pulled cam box off - it can be much the same as pulling dist if not lined up same as on assembly.

 

Do a compression test to make sure things are correct there first.

 

Or pull covers off cam wheels and show us where each one is when #1 is on TDC or better, its timing mark at 10 degrees, and what dizzy looks like, rotor might need to be pointing towards your inside fuse box if you get my drift...

Well crap I figured out the problem and it started right up I had wire 2 and 4 mixed up on the cap the top of the cap is numbered and wrong
