Things to start checking;

 

Check that the T-belt timing is correct.

Align the center of the 3 - l l l flywheel marks with the pointer. One cam sprocket dot should be at the top, the other one should be at the bottom.

 

Check disty timing.

Put #1 cylinder at TDC. Pull the spark plug and put your finger over the hole, turn engine over with socket on crank pulley bolt until you feel the air pushing on your finger. Then align the timing pointer to "0" on the flywheel.

 

Cylinders:

3----4

1----2

 

Disty cap;

--1--

3---4

--2--

 

Rotor should be pointing at #1 plug tower on the cap. Plug wires in proper rotation.

 

 

Next, re-check the electrical connections for the disty. Make sure they are properly connected.

id have to agree with ^^^^^^

check all of those first and report back frequently for the best amount of help.

 

and kudos on the firing order diagram!

lol

Make sure voltage is getting to the plus side of the coil. If there isn't voltage present then check fuse 5 in the dash fuse panel. The horn should work if fuse 5 is okay.
