Two things, are you setting TDC by the balancer or by the piston




Both

Quote:

and have you double and triple checked firing order and rotation 18436572 clockwise around cap?




Yes, several times by both myself and multiple friends.

Quote:

If you are setting it with the piston up, make sure it's on the compression stroke. Once you have done that and confirmed TDC double check you're rotor position.




Will try again.

Quote:

If it's still the same try and clock you're wires to the proper positions #1 to the 8 position on the cap and follow 18436572 in a clockwise direction and see if the car runs better.




Already tried this. Will not start, just backfires.

Quote:

If that fixes you're running issue then you will have to check the drive gear or timing chain.




How do you remove the distributor drive gear? Could an engine run if it was off by a tooth? By the way, I did put in a new Mopar Performance electronic distributor.
