When I re-curved my distributor, I had wiped my index mark off my reluctor during cleanup and installed it upside down by accident. I had the same exact symptoms, pulled distributor and turned reluctor over, problem solved. But, a thorough recheck is in order, it's usually the minor details that lead to the most trouble. One terminal, two wires crossed. This is basic knowledge and you probably don't need it, but it may help others out.
It is a brand new distributor; not that means it's right but I feel it's something else. I've been thru the wires countless times to be sure of the order and they are correct.
It just does not make sense to me at all. I wish I had a second set of eye to look over the car in person to see what I'm missing! I'm at that point! I hate to throw in the towel but it's kicking my butt!
