Thread: It's alive

Yep that much I know Dave. Although it could have been touching another wire, since they are long and loose until I put the looms on.

It never hurts to go back and try again tomorrow. It starts right up so, seems kinda wierd?

Comp 9000, not familiar with them---some of the MSD's will drive a timing light nuts.... what timing light are you using?

Timing light is from Napa I believe. Haven't used it in a few years, but it's fairly new. Has the usual induction pickup that clamps around the number one wire and then a positive and negative power source clamps. The Comp 9000 is an older Unilite Mallory ignition, so that could be it or maybe the wires which are Taylor 8mm that I trimmed down to size.

I don't have any experience with non point distributors like this one, so not sure. At first I thought the wires might be off by one place on the cap, since it doesn't have a number one cylinder mark on the cap, but I would think if it was off it would not run so well?
