vehicle: 1985 318i with the m10 (of course)...
been through everything else so far but it wont start. i think its ignition timing. at TDC, the rotor should be pointing at plug wire #1 correct? i've got my plugs in the right order on the cap, but the rotor is pointing 180* the wrong way.... dizzy is lined up to the motor in a generally correct location (ovbiously not correctly timed but i tried shifting it back and forth with no luck of starting). my guess is a genuinely fucked dizzy or i need to rotate all my plug wires halfway around on the cap.
its too dark outside to work so i figured come inside and ask someone whos got more experience with the motor
