I used your method of checking the IP timing, I'll explain how just in case I'm missing something
- Screw dial indicator into IP.
- Turn engine clockwise until dial indicator reaches lowest point/stops moving. I turned the engine until the dial indicator started moving again, then went back and set it to 0.
- Rotated engine until I was getting near TDC as indicated by the 0 on the flywheel.
- Once I was precisely at "0," I looked at the dial indicator and the timing seems to be about .101, which I know is high, but I don't think this should cause a no-start issue, correct?

I carefully removed the vacuum pump per your instructions to verify that I wasn't timed 180 off- the vacuum pump came out without any tension, so that rules that out.

More cranking, do I just have a really bad lost prime? I'm at a loss myself here... I feel like I'm missing something small but can't figure out what on earth it could be...
