72 360 first start question

Mophile said
about the dist. wiring being out of phase, the wires coming out of the dist. have that factory connector on them that pugs into the wires coming out of the ignition control module. Are you saying that I should cut those and switch their orientation? I never heard of that but I'll try anything at this point.

Another thing you might try.

If you have an old cap that is in working condition, drill a 1/4 inch hole in it between #1 wire and the coil post. With the engine fired up check with a timing light to see if the rotor is right there. Hook your light up just like you would for checking the timing and shoot it on that hole.
