Re: starting problems

what type of distributor is it.
points or hei check the wires at the module they have a tendacie to
break inside the the isulation its posible that when you move your distributor the wires make contact but check all wiring in and to the distributor

Re: starting problems

Is the clamp chrome? Those things slip. Make sure bolt isn't too long, or it will bottom out before clamping hard, allowing distributor to slip.
