I am try to figure out if anyone has ever heard of a timing chain jumping. Today I jumpered e1-te1, marked the 3 degree location on the engine and the groove on the crankshaft pulley. Connected the timing light to the battery and the number one spark plug wire(verified this multiple times). I started and ran the engine to normal operating temperatures then checked the timing. The timing mark on the crank shaft pulley was (looking at the front of the engine) at the 3'oclock position(well away from the stationary marks on the engine). All rotations of the distributor would not get the mark anywhere near the zero mark muchness the 3 degree position.
so I have concluded a couple of things:
1) The timing light is bad. Possible highly unlikely but possible
2) The shaft on the distributors have moved or is broke, or something.
3) or the timing chain has jumped
