Re: my car won't start
Nope.You got the dist out of time.Short story.Pull #1 plug,2 guys,hold finger in plug hole.Bump,BUMP, key,get a POOF , that is TDC.Line up timing mark on crank pulley,drop dist so that rotor is pointing @#1 on cap car will start,set timing.Sounds like you out 180 or at least out.

Re: car won't start
it's a LT1 so the "distributor" is something call optic spark. it is a pain and can get expensive. make sure you have the car in time also.
