Hard start...

Your car would have originally had Chrys Elec ign which used TWO bal resistors [ BRs]. There would have been two wires going to the BRs, a blue & a brown wire. If your new dist hooks up as shown in post #38, then it sounds like only the brown wire has been connected. The blue wire also needs to ber connected so that in post #38, the brown AND blue wire are connected to the coil +ve terminal.
