Bubba, Would it make any sense to put that distributor on a known good running engine to try it out, after you do your machine checks, before you ship it back to the owner? That way we could definitely rule out the distributor as part of the problem. JMO

A fellow barner sent me a email a few days ago and got the brain cells going. He stated that we shold use the 36 distributor with the dwell adjusting screw holes in the helment bottom and remove the "make set" of contacts and use only a single set of points. This to me makes sense and in the next couple weeks i will get one done and spun up.
Stay tuned .........
