Starting issue...

Grab the distributor and twist it, is it loose at all?

Is the cap loose?

Is the rotor burnt? Is the cap new? Even new ones can be crap. The distance between the terminals and rotor is off on some.

The reluctor can be rusty?


If so , turn it till it pops out the carb and back it down.
If not, start at the points, then the resistor, then the box, and the distributor.

I went threw 3 new, non rebuilt mopar SB distributors before I threw them all in the trash and went MSD pro billet.

Everyone says the mopar ignition system is great and it is, until it's not and you gotta chase gremlins in old junk and new overseas garbage...
It's a cheap azz Chinese ebay "ready to run" electronic distributor ...
I do have a new cap and rotor I keep in the trunk for it....maybe I should try that FIRST. The distributor is tight and I really doubt it moved.....

Its retarded, advance will blow fire out the carb and burn your eyebrows off.

Lol....thanks!
You guys are all awesome!
