Ditto.

I might be able to get you some info when mine gets to that point. Is this an HEI dist? 350?

What spacer you talking about?The gasket between the dist. and the manifold.You need to bring the motor to TDC and point the rotor right before it hit #1 on the cap and slip it in, the dist. gear will let it turn enough to where it should line right on the #1 terminal. Confused now?
