I will have to disagree on the placement of dist drive gear. I thought that also quite a few years back. If the slot is not line up straight (slot front-back)and the # 1 is not in the position it is called for on the dist. cap it will crank up and run but not right.
I know you may not think this will help,but it will only take you a few mins. to try this.
If anyone else is not running theirs timed this way,try it and if does not run better feel free to send me all the Hate mail you want.



You can point the rotor to ANY tower on the cap and
it'll run perfect if you start the firing order from
that point... I dont ever locate mine the way the
factory says... I point the rotor to #1 plug/cyl







if your running a stock mopar electronic dist for example.you better make sure your reluctor gear (star gear pickup) is lined upwith the pickup when the rotor terminal is on a plug/cap terminal.
a stock dist can be phased 180* out..it will run ..but it will run just as described...like junk.
its pretty easy to check..on a stock dizzy ..
im not that intimate with the internals of the msd dizzy.

but to clearify..you can have the distributor stabbed in 180* off...it is possible and it does matter...look at the reluctor...phase.
if its not lined up over the pickup when the rotor is dead nuts on the cap terminal. you understand this issue..
fwiw...
