Ok i am lost again. I have determined that i have the distributor installed right but i am just not getting fire. I have replaced the Accel super coil and put in a Accel Billet distributor and it already had Accel plug wires so i left them. I dont know what is wrong i pulled a spark plug a layed it on the header and the plug never arced. What am i doing wrong. Thanks Michael
