Ca18det In 1200 Ute (but She Wont Start :{)

[GunMetalR33]

Hi guys,

My mate and I just put a ca18DET into his 1200 ute. We have had big troubles getting it started and have checked that there is plenty of fuel, the fuel return line and pressure reg are fine and the spark is also fine. The CAS seems fine becuase if we spin it the injectors all fire like they should ect...

We checked the timing last night and it is a mile out. It does not improve by moving the CAS to both ends either. When we put the first piston to TDC the notch on the crank pully is right next to the marker where it should be so I am guessing that the timing light should be reading correctly.

Any ideas as to why the timing would be so far out? We have to point the gun on the other side of the pully just to see the notches when it flashes???
