AND..before I do reset dizzy.. why am I getting vacuum at 900 rpm idle on the ported feed off carb? I can feel it sucking the tip of my finger when I take hose off. If that's what it is called.. the fitting I am referring to is the one that is higher than the other on the carb? I know...

ok..I will reset it.. BUT!!!!!! what does the allen wrench do as far as adjusting vacuum advance???? Which way does what??? turning it clockwise as if to tighten it does??? and visa versa??? I still think the so called American made../ made in Taiwan distributor coil might not be...

OK.. I am starting to wonder now. As some may have read I had a leak issue which was a head gasket. I have replaced it and sat the distributor back down in and now having a timing issue. I did mark it before removal. And now I think I am 1 tooth off.. Is it still possible to time it correct...

and I have never heard of the End shim play as HHOT71 refers to.. I will need to figure that out. As far as the coil and module.. should I replace the china "quality" ones??? lol This did happen on my 355 in the car now,, Same kind of New distributor,,, 50 miles of driving car died. bad...

OK..Go ahead and blast away at me.. I bought NEW bolts and they had a white sealant like tape on them so I did not use extra sealant on threads. I can now see MY big mistake..I am calling the manufacturer of the bolts tomorrow as they claimed no extra was needed because of the white stuff...
