OK...some lessons learned

Lessons learned from this experience.

#1 . Be careful with starting the car WHEN IT WONT START!.....

#2 . Never disassemble a fuel distributor!...ITS NOT WORTH THE RISK, because even if you do find the problem and fix it, chances are the O rings inside are old and will stretch which translates into it will leak if you get it back together. And it will probably leak around the split line once its back together....leave it to the professionals with the proper tooling.

#3 Once you get everything back together, remove spark plugs disable the ignition system and motor the engine over...disable the fuel pump if able.
This is about getting the fuel out of the cylinders to prevent hydrolock.

#4 Last thing...before you start the car after its all back together.....roll it OUTSIDE and start....Gas will come out the tail pipe.

Thanks for your help guys.!
