Re: Checking spare Distributor
Check to see if the top plate is not closing up the points in the advanced condition or if the wire going from the top plate to the bottom plate is not shorting out when the top plate is in the advanced position. Another possibility is the arm for the moving points shorting out. Just carefully examine what changes when you advance the timing including using your multimeter. The top plate should not be loose in the distributor so that it's center moves when advancing the timing.
