If it's 180* out, it won't start it will just backfire, If it's popping, stubbling and spitting and all is good inside eng.. It sounds like timing is to far retarded

Yes the floats are a lil high but as long as gas isnt coming out of the vents it should run for now but fix that issue. And yes the rotor turns CW

Wish I could explain things in writing like Greg

I wish I was as flexible as Rev too, but it ain't gonna happen.

Something just doesn't sound right when it's trying to light....out of phase like. I'll drop the floats and see if that changes anything - that would be too easy.

aww man this is cracking me up....not your problem but the comments. LOL
Verify spark like Greg says. I think he might be spending too much time with the Mustang though.

Give that baby some more advance and pop er off. Pull the vac can towards you.

Premature pull out is common first timers. Just don't go too far in or you might lose a finger nail.

Yes --- CLOCKWISE.... sorry --- I was trying to THINK and type at the same time... the brain had one picture and the fingers typed what I was thinking not to do!

Should have read my own post before hitting submit.

The distributor is driven off the cam which only makes one rotation to the crank shaft's two rotations. I agree though that it's best to lift a valve cover to make sure you're on the compression stroke and not the exhaust stroke

I knew what you meant, it was a good knuckleball you threw me considering the moment.

Poof should verify valve opening. Unless you have a plugged exhaust but pull the valve cover to satisfy 27% of us.

I think you need more timing, oh an be prepared to swap out that power valve. The power valve protection doesn't work as well as they like it to. It's cheap insurance, unless you have a tester.
If you have another throat fire just crank it more. The vaccum create will put it out.
Put a battery charger on it while you are doing the first start. Ensures the ignition and starter gets what it needs
