In need your help. I m working on a Ford 8N with a side distributor we cannot get the engine to time correctly Each cylinder has 120lbs compression and when number 1 cylinder is on top dead center the rotor points away from number one cylinder on distributor cap We have done all the adjustments on the distributor , loosing all the bolts and it will not line up to number one when the points are starting to open. It will pop occasionally but will not run, I tried turning the distributor in both directions, Any idea I could use your help. Could the distributor be worn inside?
