[alfa] Re: 86 spide no start after rebuild

[C2slayman@xxxxxxx]

Don,
       You can remove the reference point sensor (the lower one on the 
bellhousing) and look for the flywheel trigger pin.  I need to look back at my notes 
on where the crank pulley is when the trigger pin appears at the sensor.
       But a quicker check would be to hook up a timing light to #1 plug and 
see where it fires on the crank pulley.  Because of the six bolts on the 
flywheel, it is possible for the timing to be off in increments 60degrees (crank 
angle).  So either you are close (ie OK) or way off.
       Let me know if you want me to dig through my old notes on trigger pin 
alignment   if you aren't going to use the timing light technique.

Cheers,
Charlie
