Stop in for a cup of coffee

Weather channel says 91° here in Friendship MD. Only 82° inside my shop with the fans on and the doors open. I'm still working.

How in the WORLD can it be SO difficult to tap on an adjuster hole in a rocker arm to tighten it up? I mean really.
 
Well... it's worse now with no spark.

I swapped out the ballast, coil, voltage regulator, ECU, and distributor pick up. Ran tests on everything.

Looking for a shaman now
 

Frustrating no doubt……… :BangHead:
This is the sequence

1. Installed new motor
2. Installed transmission
3. Car started, second try
4. Adjusted timing
5. Test drove and had Indication of transmission issues
6. Backed into the garage, put on jack stands
7. Supported motor and removed transmission
8. Installed transmission
9. Relocated starter solenoid about 1" to get some space from the distributor.

Car hasn't started since.

But, apparently it eats rotors...

Distributor touched firewall, supposed to at least pull cap off.
 
Actually I took the photo to capture his 3 nose freckles that he all of a sudden has.
