    Ignition Issues

    Rotor points to #1 on cap when the tdc mark i made on balancer lines up with pressure output from #1 spark plug hole. Firing order is correct..counterclockwise. I'm sure there were marks at one time, but they've been faded or scratched off, who knows.

    Dist trouble

    Yup, I can see the hex shaped shaft, is is supposed to easily move? Because it easily moves and hits all sides when I move it with screwdriver. Retaining washer is there. I've turned it with a taped socket and extension and still no luck, I'm not sure what I'm missing here.

    Dist trouble

    Hi everyone, first time posting. I'm 22 and have a 72 mustang that I installed a 460 in. I replaced the intake and putting dist back in has proven impossible. I'm thinking the pump rod came out when I pulled dist and is now sitting on the dist housing outside of its hole. There is a ring on top...
