Hi

The biggest thing is you are learning things that one day you will be teaching someone else who may be in the same position.

I swear I'm gonna make a website one day on all these things.

Well that is cool you found something electrical wrong. So lets build on that. Wouldn't hurt to call pectronix and ask if they've heard of this issue before of the timing light not being consistent on one plug ( I doubt it but why not ?) Never know what you might find out?

Anyway if you're able to ohm test all wires that would be great ( I've done this ) - it was very low resistance... I then knew all my wires were good. I re-did all the endings on my cords too when I went points to hei. Then I learned I can build my own wires!

Do you want some help testing using an ohm meter?
Just some extra tips maybe not mentioned:

1 - make sure plug wires "click" onto spark plug, same with cap.

2 - don't use the car in gear test yet as a test to your learning and troubleshooting ability !! Not yet!!!

The antifreeze in the floor is usually the heater core leaking. It happens. I think we can bypass it(fix it later) by re-routing the hoses.

So if plugs are all new, wires are all good (ohm tested, post results) timing is set way up for time being(16-18). Vac advance is plugged ( you said it's plugged into manifold vacuum ), you said firing order has been verified correctly counter clock wise? yes?

From there when you got off the phone from petronix maybe they have some other tests you might be able to double check the swap job?

From there you've checked the distributor cap is not loose by trying wiggle it. you've got it secured down. tabs twisted inwards.

We can then go move onto carb? It's been a long post so maybe this repeating myself, not too sure!!!

Agree letting thermostat gasket with sealant (thin bead) sit over night tightened down in place.



So
