Jerry, i think you solved the mystery D'OH! My father an old time wrench came down a couple of weeks ago and gave me a hand dropping in the motor and tranny,etc... He dropped the distributor and set it up while i did other things in the engine bay.I mentioned to him the reversal of a Pontiac as he was doing it and he said no problem and i "A$$"umed he did so accordingly.I even revued it recently but i think the aura of my father and how father knows best/couldn't screw it up played the jedi mind trick on me and i missed his gaff Funny,your reply IMMEDIATELY sparked the realization it was on wrong.I'll "reverse" it tonight as i'm running late for my partime job now.I'll post my results! Woohoo!!!
