O.K., some more background. When I hit the key for the first time after installing, it fired right up and ran for about 5 seconds. After that, it would run rough. I rotated the distributor several times about +/- 30 degrees and the results ranged from didn't start to still runs rough.

I didn't have a helper available at the time so couldn't check it with a light.

Put a light on it tonight and had someone turn it over. It was right about at TDC. Advanced it to 12 degrees and voila!! Nothing but the sweet smell of unburnt hydrocarbons. Kinda' brought tears to my eyes.

Thanks for everyone's input.
