New distributor installed. Now I have an issue....

By the way, so far so good. Even took it on a road trip that laster from 7 until midnight. And all went perfectly, even pulling a trailer.

Yes, inquiring minds want to know... if you had a buddy come over and help you do timing you should be all good now... me on the other hand did 7 hours of sanding and I question why.

Because you are gunna have an awesome Green Machine, that will be the envy of your peers that's why.

Once you install a HEI distributor you'll wonder how you ever did without it. With my DUI it starts before I turn the key. There is almost no such thing as cold starts any more. Press the pedal to reset the choke and my starts at idle every time.

Correct, why is that? It's just sparks?! No comments on my Fast Food themed engine bay please.

Yea it's just sparks but you went from about 30,000 volts to maybe 70,000. I also installed the Livewires. They are not cheap but definitely worth it.

Well I see your whole problem. Your engine is backwards. The distributor isn't supposed to be next to the master cylinder.
