Yes. Thank you very much for all of your encouragement and advice. My mechanical skills are modest to say the least, so I can get easily intimidated by any project that I have not tackled before. Anyway, the advice about turning the rotor slightly was spot on. I pulled the dristibutor back out and then put it back in and turned the rotor slightly and it "set" right into place. It was also helpful to let me know that if it was one tooth off that the rotor would not line up with the mark on the side of the distributor. I finally got everything else hooked up tonight and the car fired up first thing, no problem. I let it idle for several minutes and then wiggled the new green wire back and forth and the car did NOT die. I then took it for a short test drive and everything felt great. The proof will be in the pudding when I take it for a nice long drive without any trouble.
