Yes I did the other day
Also it tries to fire.

May have figured it out.
Dumb me.
I forgot the engine bracket that goes behind the upper timing cover. Not the first time either.
When I bolted up the dist cap I broke the rotor and cap. Then I put that bracket back on
Son put on old cap and rotor.
I pulled it back off last night and this one was broken too
Looking at the adapter that the rotor bolts to it looks to be bent making the rotor turn in an oblong pattern. But. The post on the cap were not damaged ???? Just the center had marks on it. Don’t know how that metal adapter could get bent from something plastic.
Going to let my brother look at it today.
