Yea, that's what I figured. Even a hack like me should be able to set it up. I pulled the old one at no 1, dropped the new one in, but the rotor is pointing at say 60 degees different because the tang is not ground the same but I figure no big deal because I install the no 1 wire on the tower lined up with the new location so no 1 is no 1. I had to move the rotation on the disty because it's a little bigger than the stock one, no big deal, no 1 is still no 1 right. The rotor is still at no 1 and the wire above it on the tower goes to no 1. It started up ok, actually hit it at -10 from the get go. Easy, seemed like all was well except it didn't sound so good and the car was shaking like it was missing. Checked all the wires with a timing light and they are all firing. To get it to smooth out I have to advance it up to at least -20 and -30 is even better. I am wondering if the pickup tape is off or something? There isn't much to screw up on a disty change if you get all the wires where they go (which I triple checked) so I am a bit stumped on this one. Voltage to the coil is good, and like I said, it runs great at -30....
Yeah, it should be simple as pie...
When you checked coil voltage , did you do a loaded test or did you just turn the key to the RUN position and check it?
