No I didn’t run it first. I replaced a no name unidentifiable distributor that did run with Chrysler orange box, but I had issues with it jamming rotor into the cap. I fixed that internally. Didn’t have any confidence in it for reliability so I bought a rebuilt OEM electronic at Napa. Took it apart and rebuilt it again with FBO advance limiter disk, changed 1 spring out for a lighter spring on advance weights. And added metal collar setting shaft play with shims and reworked reluctor and set gap. So far so good.
