Nope, no HEI yet. I did change the points, condenser, cap, wires, plugs, and rotor a couple of weeks before this problem came up. I've already pulled the old distributor and the new HEI is stabbed, but...
D'OH!
Guess who forgot to pick up a blade connector to hook up to the coil? C'mon... you know the answer! It's
ME!
So, I'm about 90% there on swapping in the HEI unit. I also picked up some
proper vacuum caps to plug everything up right. To top it all off, I've also got a buddy's compression test rig borrowed (mine's broke).
I give the new distributor a 40% chance of taking care of the problem. If that doesn't do it (and even if it does), I'll run the compression test. If that comes up okay, I'll be opening up the timing cover.
Keep your fingers crossed for me, gang!
