OK. So I just put in a newly rebuilt distributor. After much fiddly around I
got it to a point where the car will start and stay running. The problem is
that when I hook up the dwell meter (red on -coil, black to ground) it kills the
engine. If I switch it to TACH mode it reads the RPM, but the engine slows way
down. As soon as I go to DWELL mode again it will stall. What's going on?
