Big loser right now. As soon as I would hook manifold vac, it would start misfiring like crazy.
But if I left it unhooked, I could turn the distributor to advance and no misfire..
I took the distributor out and, I somehow put in the wrong one. Bushings loose as a goose. If I put vacuum to it and spun it, the reluctor made contact with the pickup.
I just now found the distributor that I thought I had put in. It has nice tight bushings.
I took it apart to clean and put a bit of lube on the bushings. I am going to set it up with an advance limiter screw in the morning.
Then I will try again.
