Well I have it routed as per the diagram and it is acuurate. I plugged the line a through a light on it. The motor had already been set at TDC. When I put the light on it the mark on the damper was retarded way past the degree marker by about 2-3 inches. I tried to move it back to 6 degrees and the truck died. had to totate the distributor back to where I had it to start it. Is the distributor installed wrong?
