Marlin Jack, yes we installed the excentric Cam back onto the face of the Cam drive sprocket. The round kinda sloppy loose piece that has a bolt in the center correct?

I definitely would prefer an electrical fuel pump and may make the swap if this one doesn't get to working.

Thanks for the TDC info, that clears things up. I'll have to check on that and confirm. Is there any easy way to tell if the distributor is off a few teeth? A guy on another forum said that the vaccuum advance should be facing forward and that I am probably 3 teeth off on the distributor and maybe 1 tower off on the wires. My mechanic buddy thought the MSD distributor just had the vaccuum advance in a different location but he very well may be wrong.


Rocky, I will double check the firing order one more time the number that you said is correct is what I used.


Thanks again guys,
Spencer
