Assuming we are talking about the distributor, no it won't start unless you also move the wires on the cap 180 degrees.

Why would your 302 engine backfire through the intake?

If it is running at the time it back fires your timing is off about 22 degrees. if it happnes when you are trying to start it then you timing is off 180 degrees.... Your intake valve is open when the spark plug fires.

You just changed a broken timing chain in a 2000 cavalier with a 2.2 it cranks and fires a little but will not start does it matter if the cam is 180 degrees off?

Yes. This means it is way out of time and will not ever start. It must be put back 180 degrees.

What is the approximate degrees of longitude for the international date line?

The simplest answer is 180 degrees.However, it bends and weaves quite a lot by convention to avoid some islands.In fact some islands are east of the line and have a negative time zone and some are west of the line and have a positive time zone.


Will 5.2 jeep run 180 degrees out?

NO!!! Do NOT EVEN TRY!!! at 180 degrees out your intake and exhaust valves have switched timing positions, IF you get it started you will burn the valves and the seats. This is the same for ANY V8 engine. (at 180 degrees at the distributor the crank has turned twice or 720 degrees on ANY four cycle engine, but the cam has only turned through half of a rotation or 180 degrees, 180 degrees on the crank equals 90 degrees on the distributor and the cam... not good no matter how you look at it) not only can this damage the valves you run the risk of ignighting the fuel in the intake manifold which at best may juse sound like a shotgun going off but at worse can start an engine fire, ALWAYS be positive that your static timing is correct before trying to start the engine... On a further note, depending on the year of the engine your timing pulse is detected by a magnetic sensor off the crank itself, so the above conditions shold not be possible, but I have seen shade tree mechanics destroy engines by doing what the manufacturers claimed couldn't be done.
