My rebuilt '93 3.9 wont start. Fuel sync set properly on original distributor installation and turned 180 degrees. Now I need to be sure it's set properly before attempting further troubleshooting.
Is the only way to set TDC on compression stroke is to remove the valve cover and watch the intake valve on #1 closing as it comes to TDC (I was hoping for an easier way:)?
After that is set, what should I check for next?
Is the return line off the fuel rail the driver side port (maybe I have the supply and return mixed up). There is fuel getting to the rails.
Should the spark plugs be wet with fuel after a starting attempt (they are dry as a bone)? Bad injectors? I soaked them in carb cleaner during the rebuild, perhaps I did more damage than good? I can see spark on removed plugs.
Thanks,
James

If you have help you can put one finger over the #1 plug hole and feel the compression stroke.
