I am a new member, Goodyear, AZ. I have an 81 corvette that I am working on. I've replaced many old parts trying to get it running smooth like it use to run. At this point there is a connection of the distributor that goes to a 4 wire fitting. Each time connect this wire, the car will stop running. Before it ran well the connected wires. Any ideas on why this is happening, thanks
