After the initial rebuild of my 292 Y Block, I have upgraded to a 57 intake manifold and Distributor. After experiencing burnt points on the distributor, I had changed it out to an electronic distributor and hotter coil. It always missed and popped. So I went back to a standard point type distributor and coil. Now I can not get the car to run.

Initially I was finding TDC on the compression stroke of #1  cylinder, as I had on many engine in the past. So after reading the shop manual in further detail, and reading past threads on this forum and others I found this not to be correct. The manual says to place engine on TDC after the compression stroke. So after finding TDC compression stroke do I rotate the crank pull one rotation? I did this and the engine is not back firing and popping out the carburetor but wont start, even after advancing the distributor. Any input on this problem would be greatly appreciated.
