Might be 180° out, take the top cambelt cover of and see if the cambelt pulley marks line up with the tdc mark at the bottom, thats your compression stroke and thats where you need to silde in the dizzy.

If the engine had a rebuid, new timingbelts etc and never run since, you better be 100% sure take the rocker covers off and have a look what the cams look like on number 1 cylinder with the marks lined up (compression stroke), do they form a V?
If not the camgears were put the wrong slot, also while I´m writing that you shouldnt have decent compression with the camgears out...

The engine hasn't been rebuild. The marks are aligned perfectly.

Yes, i'm getting detionations at the exhaust! That's why i've reduced the fuel quantities....

as rich as 10-11:1 and probably 13:1 when hot. The engine won't run at
18-19:1 AFR. If you have a Master Fuel trim, wind that up until it starts

PS: Needs air as well. 20V has an ECU controlled ISCV. How are you
getting idle air into the engine ? Throttles cracked open ?

jondee.... It's getting too much fuel, the O2 sensor get's flooded and get's wrong values.... A false "lean"...

I've reduced the amount of fuel to get it started...

I'm getting idle via a ISCV valve connected to the ITB's.

Thanks
