82 pickup wont start timing issue
hello. brought a 82 truck from Massachusetts to Colorado. drove good. leak from timing cover, carb needed to be adjusted to elevation more. so i pulled cover, resealed it like i have before and put the crank key at the 12 o clock position, (or at 5 degrees) and the dizzy at the 11 o clock position. tried moving dizzy and degrees on crank little by little and cant ever fire it. need some answers to help me out. when i set the crank timing i just used a 19mm and put a small food stick in the first cylinder until i feel it hit the top and the crank is at 5 degrees. there is also no shortage of spark and fuel. so im really stumped. here. new battery and starter to boot. any input appreciated.!
