no everything is as it was. THe only thing that happened was that hte
wire from the distributor to the coil came loose which I fixed, otherwise
everything is the same. I have tested for spark and it is ok. The
problem with rotating until it gets spark is the the vacumn unit limits
the amount it can be turned and wiht the limits of that, I can not get the
engine to start. I have good fire and good fuel, just seems that all of a
sudden, I get no indication of it starting. Could there be something else
that would prevent it beside in the distributor?
