Advice Needed - Can't Start Rebuilt 273

If you are using a ballast resistor get a new one. They will cause a no start condition and occasionally fire across the fault. Even if this does not fix the problem a good idea to keep an extra in the glove box.
If I'm not mistaken the distributor setting is opposite to what I first thought the first time I reinstalled the Distributor. If it still won't start after replacing the ballast and you are sure you have a good power pack (If Elec. ignition) I agree with many others probably 180 degrees off on distributor.
Please let me know what you find I am curious now!
If it's the Ballast you owe me a drink! Dr. Pepper od Mt. Dew fine!
