OK i think im missing something here-I mean this in all due respect to Darth -what im missing is i know he doesnt have much experience with old pontiac's or any old 60's- or 70's engine set up and is not familiar with setting timing -carb adjustments- so how did he (you darth) ( i dont mean to be talking in 3rd person) install the petronix module- the gap has to be set and it wires up a bit differently than the dist did before-again in all due respect it might be or have been over zealous with his knowlage base to remove and re-intall the dist -or did he have someone else do it ? and if socould it possibly be set back in a bit off?
also sounds like there are a lot more gremlins than just the dist and timing-i couldnt find the lack of fuel thread so not sure if the whole fuel problem has been solved -and to agree somewhat with Corellian in a simpler way as i said in an ealier post if the car doesnt feel right from the seat of your pants do adjust timing adv -i didnt mention retart i should have this method while time consuming will work
again untill all the other problems are solved it wont run 100%
