If you remove the dist cap while your wife cranks the engine, can you see the points open and close and can you see a little spark in the gap there? Or, if you have a dwell meter, use it and see what it says. Is the rotor actually going round and round? In other words, is it possible that the distributor just isn't seated deep enough in the case to engage completely with the drive gear? -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
