okay, upgraded from points to electronic. it is a Post 72 Chrysler distributor and ICU. All the wiring checks out. It would crank but not crank properly. It really felt like a car that had a timing chain skipped a tooth or two. I could get it to start every once in a while but it would not stay running if it did it was like total crap. it would backfire thru carb, balls of flames.... its a total disaster.
I think I was 180 out but to be honest I am not sure.
This is what I know. I've rotated the engine around and I have it zeroed out at the top of compression stroke.BY that I mean the timing marks are at 0. Everything I've read says that the rotor should point to the #1 cylinder. Well, how the hell is that possible? It cant point to that cylinder due to the distributors position on the engine. So, is it supposed to point to #1 plug wire on the rotor cap? If that is the case then I have it set up properly now. If not I have no effing idea what to do except pour gas on the bitch and strike a match. I need help before I am arrested for arson.
