OK. Not running the volts are right around 13. Like 12.5-13.5VDC. From my volt meter on the dash its about the same when running. Its a little more, like 13.5-14.0VDC when running.

Inside of the dist. cap looks good, the wear pattern on the inside of the cap shows timing is good too.

I'll check the grounding strap too. I was using an OHM meter to check it - goes to zero ohms checking ground at the metal of the distributor body. I'll clean up the strap too.

Any other ideas?
