Yup!! I need to drop all the unnecessary weight to get my optimum mpg of 12. Ha ha

Gotcha. Thank you. It's like Christmas eve tonight. Got her ready for a distributor dunk and a spin up the road. Will keep y'all posted.

As long as I got you guys to fall back on, this puppy ain't never seeing the inside of a shop. (unless I roll it)

This is a request for knowledge, if you were times 180*out, how would you know? What are the signs and symptoms. I am timed right now at 10*btdc. It seems as though thorough this process with the ignition box failing, every time I remove or swap distributors, the vacuum keeps having to be turned...

I was talking about the gap size with the HEI. It comes in tomorrow. Thanks though. I'll keep you posted as to how and if she purrs or hacks up a hair ball.

Yea it was like someone turned the key off. I had to look in the jeep to see If my son was playing a trick on me. I was actually glad to hear it just stop and not a lot of clanking and clunking with metal grinding. That would have sucked. Looks like hei gets here tomorrow. correct me if I'm...

Shoot, I'd a set you my grill if you could find me a black one. My grill is the last piece of chrome I have. Thanks for the idle tip

U bet. I should be getting my toy about the same time yours comes in.

Wife not avail tonight and hard to adjust dist and keep idle at the same time. I will probably let her sit and do it right with the hei. I just really needed to find out what was wrong.

Would have been more, I we hadn't talked on the phone

Should be free carbs, installed and timed. I down wit that.

Absolutely. You want a second opinion, ask 8 0 8. He has the same as up.

It is. Thanks

Got pulled away. Had to pick the kids up. Going out now. I tell ya, I can change a distributor in about 5 mins now. Never thought that would happen. Your carb come yet?

Yup. Thanks. 1 1/2 days of it. Module in many pieces now. Hahahaha

I think y'all know what happens next....ha ha ha ha

She is ALIVE!!!! I must have had a momentary lapse of judgment and reasonable thinking. You guys, don't be afraid to yell "hey dumb dumb!! Whatcha thinkin?". I must have had the whole hei thing in my head. I did not bypass the ignition, just the emissions. DUH!?!? New ICM and were off to time...

Nothing really happened. It was the look on my wifes face waiting to turn the key with me jamming a screwdriver in something that could knock me on my azz. I think she liked that way. I likes the other way. Ha ha

Yea we have gas at throttle. I checked for spark two ways, with plug still in wire, hold up to ground bolt and crank motor and watch for spark. Second, unplug spark plug wire, insert screw driver and hold about 1/4 inch from ground bolt. The second one, I wasn't to happy with.

After reviewing the play........... The call on the field is confirmed. The old distributor does exactly what the new distributor did. Crank crank crank. I guess I'll be charged with a time out. Only other thing is replace cap and rotor I quess. Hei doesn't get here till next freakin Monday. Now...
