I could hold it against the broken tab and it would start with the key. I replaced the relay and now just a click from the relay with key, but fires right up when...

    MP distibutor

    if you do the later choice it will work fine. I would have marked where the old rotor was pointing and install the new to match. I am guessing what motor you have but if small block it can only be on or 180 out, if it spits n farts out the carb flip it 180 and it should run. I am in long beach...

    use a multi meter, with key in on position, check your voltage @ battery, ballast resistor and @ pos terminal of coil. if your not at 12v its probably a wiring issue. thats what im dealing with anyway. 12v @ bat. 10v @ ballast, 6v @ coil. good luck i know im hoping for some
