Default Re: Frustration

Make sure the wire from your upper distributor plate is not shorting out against the distributor body. Also make sure the armored switch cable (or whatever you have) that screws into the distributor body is not screwed in too far. I find on mine that three turns is about right. Make sure your point gap is between 0.018-0.022" as well.

Hopefully you kept with original point configuration and are not using the modern V8 points plate. I have had more problems with those than they solve.
