      If you have the wires presently wired up correctly and the motor will not fire, I would think you have the crankshaft 180 degrees off, just my hunch.



      Look closely at this diagram. Ford lists their cylinders 1,2, 3, 4, right down one side of the motor, while GM crosses over from one side to another.

      Also note the distributor is turning the same direction on both the RH and LH motors, this is accomplished because the gear on the cam is cut accordingly on the RH and LH motors to make the distributor run the same direction, thereby alleviating the need for rotation specific distributors. All that is needed is a rotation specific gear on the bottom to match the cam.

      Look closely at the RH and LH firing order. They are obviously different from one another.

      From there, you wire the crab cap accordingly.

      In order to get the crank and the ignition in sync, you'll have to find TDC (top dead center). This should help.
