I have a 66 c10 with a 76 250 l6. Blew the head gasket. Bought a kit and replaced everything I could.

Seat the valves. Now I can't get the engine to. Work. I've tried about 3 suggestions for adjusting the values but I need the engine to turn over.

Tried to time the engine on TDC, 4, 8 and 10 based on the timing notches/teeth. Made sure the distributor (HEI) is pointed at the first plug wire/piston. Plug wires are in firing order.

Not sure what is stopping the engine from turning over.

New wireset has been added. I jump start the battery just to be safe. Carb is getting fuel. Just won't turn over.
