Re: [Peugeot-L] 85 505s, wont start after head replaced

Is the disrtributor 180 degrees out of time? That'd be my first guess.

Rotor has to be turning and pointing to #1 on the compressions stroke - otherwise it's on exhaust and is 180 degrees out.

Ask me how I know this... :)

  Hi,

  Help i am in dire need of a good Mechanic in the seattle area to help   me to get my 505 on the road again.
  I bought the car in 2003 and quickly replaced the rear bearings and   suspension.
  Shortly later i found that the head was cracked while trying to   extract a spark plug.
  I found a head at a shop in town and had it rebuilt.   after all was back together i found that it would not start and tried   to back fire once and never again.
  I tried a new distributor but to no avail, i can smell fuel in the   engine bay but it dosent turn over and catch.   Can someone please help i am at my wits end and dont want to pay 1000s   to get it fixed again.
  Cheers
  Sad 505 owner
