If you loosened the distributor and allowed it to turn then your timing is probably off to the point where it wont turn over. Simply rotating it and finding the point where the car starts (rough adjustment), then shooting the timing with an induction light(fine adjustment) will fix it.
If you completely removed the distibutor you have to get the #1 cylinder to TDC and align the gear on the ditributor and that ain't fun.
How would I go about doing this, is there an article or previous post you could direct me too? This sounds like it is the problem. I'm so ready to get this over with so I can get started on redoing the audio system. Thanks again for the help btw, I appreciate it.
