adjusting timing on 84 gs auto
 

replaced the starter & battery but still won't start. checked all grounding wires and they look/feel good. it sounds like its gonna turn over but never does. it was doing this grinding thing but stopped that after i replaced the starter. gonna replace plugs, but what then??? should the timing be checked/adjusted? what else? my mechanic knows less about the rotary than i do. sad...

i found a thread regarding similar issues but those guys found their solution with faulty wiring.
