    I haven't bought anything for GM in years and Borg Warner used to make good parts, don't know about now. The rotor needs to be of high dialectic strength to minimize arcing.

    All good posts but if I might add a suggestion. From your 1st post you mentioned crud and rust in the carb and that it had been sitting for as while. Sounds like you may have water in the tank in addition to the other problems mentioned earlier. I would have the tank boiled out and the fuel line purged. The carb may need another complete cleaning too.

    thanks for the info, i will check the dist rotor, i am actually having a electrical guru from our club come look at it. It is probably something stupid and obvious.

    He had me check for power at the bat connector, no power coming to the wire. Tried hotwiring it from the alt stud to the bat terminal on the coil and got a back fire then nothing.
