Hey folks, I hadn't been working on this for a few weeks, (renovating 2 houses,plus busy at work),but after reading these two lastest replies,figured I better get moving!

I popped the distributor in tonight,checked tdc as best as i could, arms aren't long enough to hit the starter button and stick my finger in the plug hole,but hit it right the first time.......lucky for sure. Anyway it started right up and actually idled ok,but no water in the rad, so I only let it run it about 30 seconds. One thing I did notice is smoke coming off the new ballast resister,not sure if has too much voltage or if there was a coating on it. So I'll be sure to check the rich/lean condition in the next few days,snow is gone and I'm getting itchy it get it back out!!!
Thanks,Brian

I just now read a great post/article from a few years back,by MikeP on this, thanks,Brian
