Re: distributer help car wont start

Well something not quite right first though alittle info on the car is it a HEI type distributor or one with a remote mounted coil? Next to be clear all you did was dissasemble the distributor itself to swap parts? No timing adjust or plugs wires or any other kind of work for that matter?
