Well, I went through the wiring 2 weeks ago to check for possible shorts, found nothing. In the meantime, I decided to order another new $60 HEI distributor from Amazon. Finally got around to installing it today…fired right up. I’m guessing the 1st one took a dump, which began this ordeal. The 2nd one, although new, must have had an issue. I guess that’s to be expected for buying a $60 distributor. I plan on going with an LS swap this year, hence the reason for not buying a quality distributor…serves me right.
