@zooguy since your running a conventional distubuter. The dowel pin dose not matter it is used to drive the opti spark. With the conventional disubter. Then timing is done just like the gen 1 small block.
Have you checked to see if the rotor is setting on number 1 cylinder when you bring it up on TDC during the compression stroke?

With the timing set in the position it's in, you are on #6 tdc of the compression stroke. Your rotor should be pointing at the #6 terminal on the cap. If its pointing to #1 you are "180 out" as in the timing is trying to fire the #1 plug when it should be firing the #6. If this is the case, pull the distributor out, rotate 180°, and drop it back in. Then call up your she and ask them why they started chasing cam timing before checking ignition timing. Pretty basic shit imo

On a rear distributor motor, backfiring through carb and no start is almost always 180 degrees out
you need to have #1 on compression stroke and the rotor pointing to #1 or #6 at TDC compression and rotor pointing to #696 BBB 383/T56

Well it doesn't look like it's 180 degrees out of time

His video shows the rotor pointing at the #6 terminal, so the distributor is in correct. You're going to have to put some effort into getting it going, it's not like efi where everything is set where you tell it to be.

I watched the video you posted on FB. When you done away with the LT1 2GEN time and all you need to do is set the time like you would a Gen 1 engine. Bring number one cylinder up on top of compression stroke. You will be able to hear the piston push air out the number one spark plug hole. From the video I believe that you will find that the rotor cap will be pointing at cylinder number 6 if that the case. Loosen up your disubter and lift it up and rotate the rotor and timming gear so the rotor cap is at cylinder one. Then fasen down the distubuter and check by rotating the crankshaft until you get the compression stroke on cylinder number one. Then look and see if the rotor is pointing at cylinder number one, and then look at the cam gear and sprocket gear and timing marks are lined up.

The video shows he did exactly that. The distributor appears to be clocked right, now you just have to set up the timing. Which I would think the dyno shop would be familiar with? Do you have an aftermarket timing pointer on the front cover? Because you're going to need that to dial in the advance with a timing light.
