Something like that, I think. I also checked timing at plug#6 thinking maybe a bad plug wire on #1..... got 40 deg advance. I don't know how the innards of a Pertronix pickup module work........just a vague idea of the actual physical make up. Either an internal defect or just installed in the dizzy incorrectly......maybe the "cam" on the central shaft was radially mislocated.
Thank ya'lll for the ideas. If it was close to a normal problem there would have been no thread. There is a boatload of crap that can go wrong when firing up a new engine. Add to that, I get as nervous as a whore in church no mater how many times I do it .
This one was enlivened by the electric rad fan running backwards.....engine getting hot....temp gauge not working...... sweat starting to roll down the crack of my ass....did check timing with the "other" dizzy and it was good.....and plumb forgot about it......gettin' old ain't all it's cracked up to be.
