hey man, double check that you installed the dizzy correctly using the marking line as per the installation procedures. Luckily my mate noticed mine before we tried starting it.

You do have to dial the camshaft in tho to the crankshaft timing bud. If thats done correct check the dizzy. I assume you are getting spark

ya timing sounds like its 180deg out, as for dialing them in keith at wade cams grinds them so u run standard timing marks, ya tuner may decide to advance or retard the cam while tuning but other than that it will be correct with out dialing it in..... just check that when on the comp stroke on number one that ya rotor button is at the no1 lead, double check ya leads are on the correct ones aswell, sounds stupid but people do it
