you should continue-ok im going to assume the dist cap is new-first double check everything -especialy the the rotor ( thats new too right) make sure the roter is not loose and in the event of taking the dist cap on and off you put it back on 100%
re check that wires are seated to cap and to plugs sometimes they feel like they went on but not all the way re check all the vac lines then-
try taking the air cleaner off the car then put in drive -and then try instead of drive go directly to reverse -see what happens
-the only not so good is coolant on the passenger floor -heater core -happens to all old cars-some are eaiser to get at than others-
thermo housing -youll have to do that one over
-if you do after you replace and reseal -let it sit to dry overnight then the next day re fill radiator and start the car
