Hey Bill - thank you!

The reason I had new spark plugs was because the plugs I had in there were pretty soaked after several tries of cranking it.

I took the plugs out for a few days and hoped the cylinders would dry out - then I put in new plugs and tried again at cranking.

New plugs still seemed dry after a couple tries of cranking the engibe. But I should check them again since I've had several more start attempts

But I'm thinking the problem is the rotor doesn't line up with the #1 notch in the distributor housing when the crankshaft is at TDC and simultaneously the camshaft sprocket mark lines up with the mark in the rear timing belt cover
