>>I won't even talk about the squal of delight when I opened the box >> Below will get you distributor installed "worst case", eg. you took it all apart and rotated the damned motor, oil pump and distributor and don't know where anything is. CORRALARY: IF you get the distributor aligned properly, and it will not start, THEN it is not the problem any more. STOP FIDDLING and move on to the next thing. << No need to crack AMX rear window whips to corral your Mustangs, man your Heds of cattle or steer your Pacers to safe pasture; Coral and Larry (broadcasting live on KAMC!) can calm delightful squalls, end WCD nightmares and make all American [Motors owner's] Dreams [TV] reality. NOS parts are sugarplums, so put thumb in TDC hole and pull out sweets.
