The tach moves slightly, but it does not jump.
The sensor is not new.
How do you jump the relays? I have plenty of spare relays to try because I have a full board from another Euro S that I parted. I already swapped out the pump relay.

Yes
Just checked and the piston is at the top.

If the injectors are being pulsed, then you almost certainly have spark. It is easy to test for this, remove a plug, lay it against the block and crank the engine (remove fuel pump relay so no air/fuel mixture comes out of the empty spark plug hole).

Whether it is timed on the compression stroke or the exhaust stroke is something you need to address.

Do you get good compresssion on the cylinders ?

To jump the LH, EZK or FP relays, join terminals 30 and 87 of the socket. Double check you have the correct pins, or damage may be caused.

If those checks appear OK, then consider there may be a short on an injector conenctor, this will short out all the injectors as they are connected in parallel. Peakl back the boots to look for exposed wires shorting to each other. Check for 12v on the pins when igntion is on.

Timing is all correct(cam gear marks, TDC mark and dual dizzy rotors/marks all line up)
Just checked and I am getting spark from the plugs(at least #3 which is the one I pulled to check).
Compression is within 6% across the cylinders. 150-160 psi.

How do I verify that the injectors are firing correctly and not just leaking into the cylinders?

Double check the 2 fuel injector ground connections on the passenger side cam cover.

since you never answered this i will mention it again.....

did you swap the coil wires on the distributors? if they are not on the correct distributor then the engine will not run,
just for kicks try swapping them

Doh!!!
I never tried to switch them and originally installed them based on a search from this forum. I looked closely at some pics that I took before dis-assembly and it appears that they are switched..... Too late to fire it up tonight with kids asleep(exhaust is still not installed). Will try in the morning and update.
