Well, I finally got it where it's trying to start again if I turn the distributor to the right. Something is off.
but when I moved the distributor to point at #1, it just fell in place. Thought for sure I had it.

Also, when I checked the spark it looked a little weak to me. The distributor is a brand new GM HEI made by Jegs and
it came with the motor.

I may look in to a hotter coil.
Thanks,

Jim
