The dizzy clamp was bent and the dizzy body was not fully seated in the case (block). The dern thing would idle and rev w/o load but if I tried to drive it it would come out of the drive dog and turn off like a switch had been thrown.

Did you get the firing order right when you replaced the distributor? Did you static-time the distributor first? Firing order is 1,3,4,2, counter clockwise - with #1 coming up around 1-2:00 o'clock as you look at the dist'r cap. <div><br></div><div>Good luck!</div><div>Allen<br><div>
