Stage 1 timing

Hi all!
I am new to this forrum and request your help.

I have just rebuild the engine in my Stage 1 V8. I am trying to tune it but I can't get the timing right. It is supposed to be TDC @ 750 rpm but the mark is way out.
I still need to check if the TDC mark on the pulley is correct.
My other thought was that the after market cam I fitted may affect the timing, it is a Dynotec PC216.

What do you guys think?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

Fred

1. You may of put the dizzy in in the wrong spot.
2. cam may of needed timing in, if so it would need adj front flange.
3. leads may be in wrong order

go back to 1.

when changing a cam you have to 'dial it in'. meaning there are different advance/retard settings just like on your distributor.

u have to use a dial gauge to see maximum lift of intake valve on no.1 cylinder. and a whole lot of other crap that is hard to explain.
when you bought your cam it should of come with a spec. sheet.
