[aermotor]

I am confused as to what problem I had or have. The car wouldn't start - kicked back like it was advanced although it was starting fine. I took the dist. cap off and could move the rotor back and forth even though it felt rough. I removed the distributor and everything seemed fine. Holding the drive shaft the cam won't move by hand. I did not turn the engine over so I should be able to drop the distributor back in and be in time? What caused the rotor to turn by hand with the dist. in the car and not out? Could a weight have hung up and healed it's self or don' I know what I am doing? What is my next move?
