Default Thank You LARS!!!!

Duke 94 gave me an address that I down loaded. (How to install your Chevy Distributor. I just finished installing electronic ignition. I never wanted to remove the distributor. Always afraid of screwing up the elect. I installed everything according to the directions, dropped the distributor in,and had all points marked, but the distributor WOULD NOT SEAT! I was in a panic. I tried and tried but it would not seat with all the marked points lined up. It would seat but the rotor was off by a half turn. Then I read your Technical Info. Bulletin. Should have done that first! WALKING THE DISTRIBUTOR. Worked like a charm. Fired up after a couple of cranks. Thanks, Lars and Duke 94
