When I turn my engine over, it turns and turns and turns and usually nothing. The car has no exhaust currently and I am wondering if lack of back pressure has anything to do with it?
My other concern is that the posts do not line up to the magnetic trigger wheel inside the distributor the same as it did with the other cap.
Back pressure is not affecting this. I'd start from scratch & put the timing marks on 10 BTDC on #1 compression then w the vac can roughly where you want it, turn the housing slightly until the reluctor blade that is closest to the magnet is now dead even w it. Now see if the rotor tip is close to the underside of the cap terminal w the #1 wire (rotor phasing). Vac adv (if used) will shift the rotor phasing CCW (on a SB) from that position. For standardization it's best (but not required) to have the #1 plug wire/terminal forward and slightly to the pass side. Good luck & holler back.
