Distributor Vacuum pod to intake manifold interference issue

Indeed. Sometimes it's tough for those of us who've been doing this for so long to understand someone else might not have it come second nature. If I had a dollar for every distributor I've yanked and every engine I've timed up I'd have a NICE nest egg.
Re-indexing the cap pushed me over the edge. Who cares how many degrees it is off. Put it where it works by twisting the distributor and rearranging the wires on the cap or pull the distributor and reposition the drive gear if you choose. Sorry, I'm preaching to the choir here. You would have fixed the issue and been cruising days ago. :BangHead: :BangHead: :rofl:
