Hei conversion Intermittent start?

Great, glad it sparks now, though your metric of "crank car, does it fire?" is not a conclusive spark test.

Read slower in the future. I told you way back to check for the spark at the coil output wire. That is before the distributor cap, so would have taken the rotor and cap totally out of the equation. Most people have to learn how to read technical info. They first try to skim it like a novel, which doesn't work at all. In Physics and Math classes, you cover maybe 10 pages per week, spending maybe 1 hour per page.

Ideally, you should use a brass feeler gage to set the pickup gap. I don't since I don't have brass feelers. You want the gap as small as possible without crashing into the teeth, including when the vacuum advance moves the plate. If you inspect the Chinese "ready-to-run" distributor, you will see a much smarter design where the gap doesn't need adjusting.
