Has the distributor been out since the last time it ran?  If so there is a
chance it is 180 degrees off.

Help-
Hi guys,
My friend and I are trying to start his corvair.  It's kicking our pants. 
We've checked the wiring.  There is spark and fuel getting to the
cylinders.  We've checked the manual to make sure the plug wires are in the
correct position.  The rotor in the distributor is pointing at about the
6:30 to 7:00 position when cylinder #1 is at top dead center on compression
stroke.  We just took the plug wires off again and checked the manual
'again' when putting them back on to make sure they are correctly
installed.  Still no fire.  Spark is very definitely getting to the
cylinders.  

All suggestions are of value.  I'm at a loss.  If there is anyone in the
NTCA who is near Valley ranch in the DFW area and has the know how, we could
sure a little help.
-Thanks in advance.
-C
