If you can get it to run for more than 2 seconds, it's not the fuel pump.

Timing is simple. Line up the pointer and the TDC mark on the balancer, and set the distributor so that the rotor isjust before the #1 spark plug location on the distributor cap. Make sure you have the correct firing order:

1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8

and remember that the rotor turns counter-clockwise.

Take care,
-Chris
