Hi all. I swapped an 88 TBI 4.3 into my toyota and I can't get it to
start up again. It was running before I pulled it so I know its
capable. The only thing I did to the internals is change the valve
guide seals, and have since readjusted the valves twice just to make
sure. I redid the wiring with the stock harness and the thing will
crank all day and never start. I have both spark and fuel and the ECM
isn't storing any codes. I'm sure there's some stupid thing that I
missed, and I hope someone out there can help me find it.

Thanks!

Are you 100% sure the distributor is pointing at #1 when #1 is at TDC? I've
removed and reinstalled distributor 180 degrees out many times. And always
felt stupid after...
