WTF? How did we know what he was doing from his original post? If he was building an engine, he would need to stab the distributor, right. Right? RIGHT? That's why I told him the correct by the book way to do it. He also did not include WHAT it was in in the original post. DID HE? All I wanted to do was to make DAMN SURE he knew what was going on. We've already come to the conclusion all he is doing is a timing chain replacement and he never messed with the distributor, so dot to dot is fine. Or DID YOU MISS THAT in your quest at smartassary?
