Default Re: 47 V8 ignition mystery

Could the replacement distributor have the rotor out of time? That is, could the rotor tip be in between the contacts in the cap when the coil fires? This could cause the spark to jump to ground or to the wrong cylinder. Who knows what that poor distributor has undergone in its life!
