Got it back in along with the dizzy.Usually it goes to far down and won't allow the dizzy to be able to turn the oil pump.
What to do now I'm not exactly sure. If the top holder thing is there that keeps it from gong into the pan then you are good (if not no biggy get one). It's trail and error to set the depth of the rod but once in, you are good.

Waste of damn time. Still didn't start, got the dizzy in near where it suppose to go according to the cap, maybe a little to the driver side. Got it put all back together. Tried both firing orders, using the spot on the cap labeled one and the one to the right of it. Still all I get is backfiringAnd???

I use kind of a modified finger over the spark plug whole idea. I have a compression tester tube with not valve in it, screwed into the spark plug hole. Attached to that a small piece of clear tube submerged in motor oil. I rotate the engine (clockwise) till air is being pushed into the motor oil, i turn it tell it stops producing air bubbles. At that point it is nearly on the TDC mark on the balancer, so i line it up exactly on TDC and go from there. I used this way on my 2.8 and 2.9 with success on both.Twister- if you don't mind describe to us how you're setting it on TDC.
My pressure gauge hasn't read anything since I started trying to start it. I am going to take the dizzy put again tonight and take the electric drill to it and see if I can get some pressure on the gauge.Have you confirmed you are still getting oil pressure when you crank it?
Without the clip in the right spot that driveshaft will just drop out the bottom of the dizzy into never never land.
