Yeah that will do it. I'm surprised that it would even start with the cam 180 degrees off, or didn't he start it.

After resetting the cam and plug wires per mcmancuso's instructions, I got the car started today!

It took me a few days longer than anticipated to complete as I had to replace a bad water pump and tie up a few other loose ends under the hood. So I am happy to report that my '93 to '91 engine swap is successful!

I have a new issue now (a fast idle); but I will save that for another post.

Thanks again to mcmancuso and everyone else for the guiding information and advice. It is much appreciated!
