Yep, yep, yep. You have hit the nail on the head. I am afraid I will run into the same problem with another "new" distributor though. I now have two distributors with the same problem. I hope I can fix what I have. Thank you.



stock mopar distributors have 30 plus degrees of advance in them so you aren't going to buy one that will just drop in .

IF you buy a NEW MP dist it has an adjustable mechnical advance , 40years too late , also in another thread on this subject a member that chimed in above sells a kit to shorten this without doing any welding to the dist .
