What did I do? Help?

KD, it’s possible when you pulled the distributor out the gear came up with it and then fell back down. I’ve seen it happen.

So you need to verify that gear didn’t move if you haven’t done it yet.

The other thing mentioned was those plates aren’t that accurate. Even if they were when you change the curve like that it may not be happy.

A cheap test would be to put the plate back where you had it and see what happens.

It’s work, but it’s free.
