Distributor Install Help - 302 Holly Pro Jection

[68 Broncoholic]

Need some help with my new 302 that will not start after doing the following..

Changes from stock:
The new motor has an RV cam, I do not believe the firing order would change from the standard cam timming.

Added Holly Pro Jection system. Fuel pressure is set at 12# which is delivering gas and I have spark.

I couldn't find my timming light last night to verify where #1 is firing.
I assume once I find it, I can connect to the #1 wire and see if it flashes where #1 would be. When cranking, it sounds like 180* out.

Here's what I did. I cranked over the motor and felt for the compression stroke and both rockers were raised (valves closed), piston up and pointer on 8* BTC. I'm thinking I could be on the exhaust stroke.

Any other way's to verify without the light? or should I start diggin?

Thanks!

if you felt compression and both valves are closed,should be ok.rotor should point to #1 plug wire on cap.check that first.

Thats where I set it.

I'm going to bum the neighbors timming light and see where it is.

What kind of ignition/distributor are you running. I had an msd ignition and had to have some little domagig thingy from msd to go between the ign and the pro jection for it to be able to sense the correct ignition firing etc with the multiple spark (the ms in msd). just incase you have an msd ignition box.
