Pictures would indeed be a help. If you can host them somewhere, you don't need to "upload" them to Brickboard. Include the URL in the img src= html code to have them display inside your post, or just post the URL and we can have a look.

I say pics would be a help, and I specifically mean a pic of the top of the distributor with cap and rotor removed. Or at least the cap removed. 135 degrees, whether crank or cam, is not compatible with combustion creating power.

What it sounds like is your remanufactured distributor is not aligned. The reluctor's trigger wheel is locked to the shaft by a tiny pin, normally, and maybe this didn't happen or got lost.

So, if you show me yours, I'll go take a photo of mine, also a 79 244DL. This should verify in your mind whether the dizzy needs to be pulled.

EDIT: Never mind. I see you already got this "arcane" suggestion from Ian on Turbobricks with plenty of imagery. http://forums.turbobricks.com/showthread.php?t=326905 Good luck!

Always keep several get well cards on the mantel. If unexpected guests arrive, they'll think you've been sick and unable to clean.
