I was told i needed 12 volts at the coil and you only need one with points but it was by a chevy guyWhy were you told you don't need ballast resistor? If using mopar ecu still need a ballast resistor to lower voltage when engine is running.

Yep. Further, most coils will say right on the side of them "for use with external resistor" or some such,OK that distrib is a hack job one took a points distrib and put electronics (mopar) Guts in it. Two completely different cases.I bet the top bushing is sitting high or the rotor is not all the way down, the carbon looks runbbed not arced to me. Get another distributor. Two different animals
Hell I have a tub of them for scrap!Why would anybody do such a thing? Is there a shortage of factory castings for electronic distrubutors?
I put a RB electronic, weights up in a low deck points distributor, everything lined up okay. I know it probably is a hack job, but it is my hack. I this really a problem or is it just a shitty reman, and hack job? Just asking? I know about vacuum advance difference.OK that distrib is a hack job one took a points distrib and put electronics (mopar) Guts in it.

it was originally a lean burn set up block had bad main and rod bearings decide just to buy a rebuilt block my builder had gotten from a friend it has a cloyes timing chain, com cams cl21-671-4 cam and a edelbrock 1407 thats as much i know i had a shitty builder that only left me with chicken scratches for reciepts. i get mad just thinking about it@78cordoba Hey do us a favor either state or show what all you installed. Probably something simple, but dump that distributor.
it didnt run old block has bad bearings the reluctor has a slot for clockwise sb rotation and bb rotation the roll pin was in the small block slot exhast is wide open at the momentwhat do you mean the reluctor was installed backwards? where is your timing set? How did it run before the conversion? still have cats in the exhaust? are they clogged?
