Dang that's serious $ for a distributor Steve. Any chance you can send back?
Yes. Its all about time vs. money. I got to a point where I could remove the distributor, tweek the springs, reinstall and test the curve pretty darn quick. Probably down to 30 - 45 minutes each go around. That's with a Mallory built dizzy. I'm still not that fast with the little clip inside the Chrysler units.

Hey hows the engine install into the car with the oil pan on?
