    distributor swap
    « on: July 10, 2010 - 10:51:20 AM »
    I tried to change my distributor with an msd and ran into a few problems. The new one would not line up in the same position as the old one. When I put the old one back in, the car won't start. Any ideas on what to do to get the car running again

    Did you make note of which plug the rotor was pointing at? If not try spinning it 180 around then try it.

        :iagree:

    It's easy to put the distributor back in 180* out of phase.    :banghead:
