91 3.0 Wont start after alt install.

So I replaced my alternator, and when I did I took out the dizzy to get some more room. Now that I have everything back together, the 4 runner wont start.. It just turns over.. Any idea?

u have it back in the wrong spot, set timing at bottom and check that the dist is about 10 to 11 o'clock area.

yeah that doesnt look right, is the crank on the mark at the bottom? if so it should almost be 180 deg. from where it is, more pointing to the 10 and 11 o clock area,

use a 19mm socket down on the crank bolt and turn motor over tell u have the timing marks lined up. use a flashlight and look down the drivers side up front of motor and u will see the marks,

ok when u pulled it did u mark it or just pull and put back, it can easily get off a tooth or so when u do it, that's why its best to put it at tdc when u pull and put it back in.

Alternator fuse blown? My 22RE has an 80 amp alternator fuse that blew when my alternator went out. I had to replace both.
