I do believe I had my timing 180 degrees off. I took the #1 spark plug out and put my thumb over the hole and felt it blowing out. When I reached TDC on that stroke the rotor was pointed backwards. So I pulled up the distributor and spun the rotor around.
I looked at a picture of the firing order and how each wire should be run to the plugs. Checked out.
This time when cranking, it seemed like every time I would let off the key, it would burp. Like it wanted to start when I would let off the key.
I guess I'll give a run down of everything:
5.2 magnum with stock rebuild.
Original distributor with pertronix
Flame thrower coil
MSD StreetFire Ignition Wires
Autolite Cooper Spark Plug 3924
I bypassed my ballast resistor with a straight thru wire.
