Rotor points to the #1 cylinder when set at TDC . Distributer bolt is tight . #1 plug was dry . Odd that it goes from running great one night & fails to start the next morning . I am parking under a carport and the front end rarely gets much water from rain . Mostly the rear gets the brunt of the rain .
I cleaned and repainted the top of the engine with Por 15 Caliper red paint last year . ( not the correct color , to much orange in it . Plymouth red is closer to cherry red , not available ) . Engine was rebuilt in 1995 . Idiot painted Chevy orange . Has a total of 143xxx total miles on the engine .
