New weird issue

jhdeval said

Well I replaced the ignition coil and it did start right up but as soon as I move to drive and give it any gas it starts sputtering and gets ready to stall. In neutral and park everything is fine. So I don't think its a fuel delivery issue. This is a major PITA.

Is it possible the distributor is toast? I wouldn't think so as long as its rotating.

make sure you have an ohm reading across the to leads coming out of the dizzy. that will tell you if the pick-up is working.

then check the clearance... bump the engine over until you get the point on the little wheel lined up with the pickup. needs to be about .008". we had similar issues with a hemi duster... it would run then not, hard start then half a kick...
