That's good, not likely then that you would have jumped a tooth. Sounds like the cap shifted some how...but not knowing how much you were off doesn't give us much to work with....hope you just have a bad wire going to the coil from the distributor or power to the distributor. |

The cam sprocket is steel (I think). It's been a couple of years since I did the rebuild. I would have questioned the sprocket being nylon, and I like to think I'd remember questioning why I'm putting in a plastic part. I purchased the NOS which will arrive this week, so Saturday, after I install the new distributor, I'll do a detailed examination of the old. I'd really like to find a problem with the old distributor. It would put my fears to rest. I'll post what ever I discover. Thanks. |

I know its a different train of thought, but this same thing happened to me today. It would explain why messing w/ the distributor would fix it for you, the wires would be moved and a better connection would have been made. Dietz |
