    yeah sounds to me like when he put the dist back in he didn't get the timing right, either on the drop in or on the wires.....

    Could also have the valves down a little tight.

    distributor wired wrong:

    180 out
    wrong firing order
    fireing order not lined up on compression stroke
    wrong rotation
    not plugged in
    plugged in but bad connection
    bad module ( unlikely as it was running before but possible )
    bad pick up coil ( ulikely also )
    missing rotor button
    .
    Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.
